Carnival Queen Lyrics - Jandek

Carnival queen 

All the ghosts lay by your side 

Moaning, groaning songs of woe 

Carnival queen 

Your hair is on fire 

Your arrows pierce my bones 

Angel, madonna 

Your eyes are on fire 

Breathing quiet prayers 

Angel, madonna 

You breathe 

Pumping life into my veins 

Carnival queen 

All the ghosts stay by your side 

Moaning, groaning songs of woe 

Carnival queen 

Your hair is on fire 

Your nails pierce my palms
