Carnival on the Couch
(hmmmmm) Carrie and Carsten
on a faded orange couch
Finding a kingdom
in a broken-down house
Shifting their weight
as the old springs complain
Humming a melody
to shut out the rain
Oh, look at the two
of them spinning in place
Lost in the dust
of a crowded space
Falling in love
on a threadbare throne
Under an orange
sun of their own
She paints a picture
with a chipped ceramic cup
He tells a joke
just to make her look up
No silver spoons in this carnival tent
Just two crooked hearts
and a lifetime well spent (ahh-hahaha-ahhh)
Oh, look at the two
of them spinning in place
Lost in the dust
of a crowded space
Falling in love on a threadbare throne
Under an orange
sun of their own
On that orange couch... (hmmmmm)
