Jackson C. Frank - My Name Is Carnival lyrics
[Jackson C. Frank - My Name Is Carnival lyrics]
I've seen your face in every
Place that I'll be goin'
I read your words like black
Hungry birds read every sowin’
Rise and fall, spin and call
And my name is Carnival
Sad music in the night sings a
Scream of light out of chorus
And voices you might hear appear
And disappear in the forest
Short and tall throw the ball
And my name is Carnival
Strings of yellow tears drip from
Black-wired fears in the meadow
And their white halos spin with an anger
That is thin and turns to sorrow
King of all, hear me call
Hear my name: Carnival
Here there is no law but
The arcade's penny claw, hanging empty
The painted laughing smile and the turning
Of the style do not envy
And the small can steal the ball
To touch the face of Carnival
The fat woman frowns at screaming
Frightened clowns that move enchanted
And the shadow lie and wait's outside your
Iron gates with one wish granted
Colors fall, throw the ball
Play the game of Carnival
Without a thought of size
You come to hypnotize the danger
The world that comes apart has no
Single heart when life is stranger
Wheel and call, clawed dreams all
In the name of Carnival
Wheel and call, clawed dreams all
In my name of Carnival
Place that I'll be goin'
I read your words like black
Hungry birds read every sowin’
Rise and fall, spin and call
And my name is Carnival
Sad music in the night sings a
Scream of light out of chorus
And voices you might hear appear
And disappear in the forest
Short and tall throw the ball
And my name is Carnival
Strings of yellow tears drip from
Black-wired fears in the meadow
And their white halos spin with an anger
That is thin and turns to sorrow
King of all, hear me call
Hear my name: Carnival
Here there is no law but
The arcade's penny claw, hanging empty
The painted laughing smile and the turning
Of the style do not envy
And the small can steal the ball
To touch the face of Carnival
The fat woman frowns at screaming
Frightened clowns that move enchanted
And the shadow lie and wait's outside your
Iron gates with one wish granted
Colors fall, throw the ball
Play the game of Carnival
Without a thought of size
You come to hypnotize the danger
The world that comes apart has no
Single heart when life is stranger
Wheel and call, clawed dreams all
In the name of Carnival
Wheel and call, clawed dreams all
In my name of Carnival
