Buckley Tim Carnival Song Lyrics

Carnival Song Lyrics

The singer cries for people's lies

 He will sing for the day to bring him night

 The circus burns in carnival flame

 And for a while you won't know my name at all

 But sing and dance and love for pennies and gold 

 

 The juggling clown smiles to me

 And every frown we agree is glad

 The nighttime comes to bring the bums

 >From Bowery heat to crimson streets of wine

 But magic lands will never touch our sands 

 

 Your children smile in single file

 They learn mistakes that others make

 They see although they cannot know

 The needs they'll need to have their greed grow wild

 But dance and sing, for others bring the shame

 And for a while you won't know my name
