Carnival Song Lyrics - Singles - Tim Buckley

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
