Rush - Carnies Lyrics






Under the gaze of the angels
A spectacle like he's never seen
Spinning lights and faces
Demon music and gypsy queens

The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance

How I prayed just to get away
To carry me anywhere
Sometimes the angels punish us
By answering our prayers
By answering our prayers

A face of naked evil
Turns the young boy's blood to ice
The deadly confrontation
Such a dangerous device

The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance

Shout to warn the crowd
Accusations ringing loud
A ticking box, in the hand of the innocent
The angry crowd moves toward him with bad intent

How I prayed just to get away
To carry me anywhere
Sometimes the angels punish us
By answering our prayers
By answering our prayers

The glint of iron wheels
Bodies spin in a clockwork dance
The smell of flint and steel
A wheel of fate, a game of chance

    Under the gaze
    of the angels
    a spectacle like
    he's never seen

    spinning lights
    and faces
    demon music
    and gypsy queens

    the glint of
    iron wheels
    bodies spin
    in a clockwork dance

    the smell of
    flint and steel
    a wheel of fate
    a game of chance

    how I prayed
    just to get away
    to carry me
    anywhere

    sometimes
    the angels punish us
    by answering
    our prayers

    a face of
    naked evil
    turns the young boy's
    blood to ice

    deadly
    confrontation
    such a dangerous
    device

    shout to warn
    the crowd
    accusations
    ringing loud

    a ticking
    box in
    the hand
    of the innocent

    the angry crowd
    moves toward him
    with bad
    intent
