Lyrics
Raven: When your world’s been crushed And your new world is fear And your dreams brutalized And shattered like mirrors And you flee on the run With a face full of tears Join us my love Join us right here … There’s a strange land that you might say Is so close yet far away In which our dear carnival prowls It's a long, lonely, dusty time Since some company's come by And the time’s come to speak of it now There’s cobwebs and dust Unholy things gone to rust And our crew’s usually blind drunk by noon But for you we'll make due Crank the old wheel anew As our carnival comes back to town … For those of you far out there listening To this little humble, odd transmission Who awaited a weird west cabaret Well don't reach for that dial yet Miss Helen and her cast of friends Are joining our circus today They're on the run, afraid And need a place they can escape And this i can help with, i might But before you all go Tour our grounds, see our show As our carnival comes back to life Floozies: Raven, baby, hey, whacha got to say? Raven: Step right up step right up, what a show we have today Floozies: Raven, baby, hey, whacha got to say? Raven: All you little Albionites listening, dont you go away It’s been so since we've have crowds to coquet, seduce and bait Our circus has been stuck for so long in this god forsaken place That at night i finger razor blades But Hamlet’s soliloquy can wait This week peruse our carnival of debauchery and disarray Floozies: Raven, baby, hey, say whacha got to say Raven: The cast of your favorite cabaret is with us here today Floozies: Raven, baby, hey, say whacha gotta say Raven: Please welcome our desperate fugitives, and Miss Helen… enchantee Kiss my grits and panties its so exciting here you know They're on the run but first they'll tour our grounds and see our show Sit back, relax, i swear there’s no reveals or big surprise We all know whos coming, its just a question of when they arrive Our carnival has been around Exotic lands and foreign towns We've welcomed so many inside Angels, demons both alike Every tarot card and every sign Have howled at the moon in our time And here i’d thought our day done The last act where i suck a gun But now my love you have arrived Every fetish is fine You can have some of mine As the carnival comes back to town
