Words To Carnival Ride
Without Fanfare - Without fanfare earth buries irs own Never dreaming it could be any other way - Society toots its own horn tears up pages lost Trying to learn to read Spares the only hope it's got to believe in something - Fishing for a line of truth Splashes water all over the creek Overflowing the banks of common decency Forbids us some - Stories never told seem a shame Why not all of them Listening in on the end of it Comes too late to be forgiven Blurts out the truth - Belief trickles down furrows of sand In the wind gets lost - Having fallen on your alter Some ashes kneel to pray Comes the wind sweeping everything away - "The show must go on" Never knew the script was loaded - Babies Born Die Thoughts of filter down - Working out just right The life scares itself to death trying
Toys Of The Mind - Belonging to an innescapable clause in the fabric of time Swirls out of proportion The final signature you never get to - "what is real" said Alice to the something knowing nothing really was Enough to know about what is real and what is not - Yes is leftover some but Not too much is mostly of it - Being saved dangles a fish never caught - The abundance of my imagination Sometimes slips a little Caught off guard Reveals an x-rated picture of You - Toys of the mind Cloud the sky Dazzling even its own eye - Jumping to conclusions Hurdles the most ardent admirer Into believing Somethinglost is found - Talking to yourself Doesn't seem like much Until you realize there's no one else - Beginning doesn't know Why the end never catches up
The Butcher's Block - Come to the river Cries for everyone - Don't look back its all around you - Stretching imagination Cling wraps the whole ball of wax Shapes a house of horrors Trembling at the thought of it -Lord have mercy Rings hands Humanity spits on - The marriage of heaven and hell Never spelled it more accurately - Do noy judge runs away with the thief To get help for its mischief - Sadness fills up the empty bonepile When an ocean of sun Couldn't even accident it - Living every line you cross Comes back your face on a silver platter Wantiong to get lost somehow Trips up fame and fortune Costs a lot Mints the coin never forgotten Is everywhere hiding - The drama weeps on While we strangle the noose - To be fair is seldom the problem Put into words Nicely stays put Greed hardly bats an eye - The Butcher's block Leaves no room for arguements
The Most Pleasure - Everyone sings out to the God Almighty let me be the first to shake your hand Never saw such a crowd - The most pleasure gives up itself a little more than we imagine You to be - That sculptured look Finds its way into every nook and cranny Once your eyes have become accustomed To the light - Standing on a pinhead Twirls the dancer of your delight Sparkles the jewels of my heart - Ride the top of the Crest of the Wave that Isn't there - Honesty spills the game all over the table Comes the food - Feel my body become light Crowns the ages with delight - Joy rings some hearts never stop coming to church Breaths daily - Gentle your love touches me Inside becomes Ancient again
Carnival Ride - Roaring through space On a Carnival Ride Our dreams vanish in the night - Explain if you can Why never stops - Be at peace Bring down the house No critic ever set foot in - Not forgetting you Comes the blessing of a lifetime - Your roots into space can grow too - Hope is theflower of forever Knocking at your door Forgotten - Memories of never was Never will be And always is Are all I have left of you - Birth is the miracle You will die for
