Carnival Statelines

(clack clack click clack) I built a kingdom out of broken plates

And marched in circles by the heavy gates

(tick tock)

Throw your copper in the wishing well

And listen closely to the cracked brass bell

Oh lift your hands up to the

sky!

(hallelujah!) We watched the carnival float pass us by

We wore the crowns of paper and of tin

And wondered when the real show would begin

Glitch in the rhythm,

dust on the keys

Singing a song to the winter breeze

Oh lift your hands up to the

sky!

(hallelujah!) We watched the carnival float pass us by

(clack

click... clack...)
