The Carnival Is Dead And Gone lyrics

Dear sir dear lady 
This carnival is dead and gone 
And never anyway alas this party never yet began 
The chairs and tables dust of dust 
Yes verydust of veryrust of verymust and farewelltrust 
I thought I saw you in the crowd dear heart 
You turned away from me and dissolved into light 
The broken lights and faded buntings 
Call to us all the inmost light 
And don't glare wide your eyes in wonder 
They will flick back inside your mind 
And on the bonescreen of your skull 
They watch no musical salutes 
So thoroughly modern now we are 
But the last reel of all time 
The inmost night 
It's frames are glared and slow and out of focus 
Valentino Vallee Moss all dead! 
The inmost night 
And the little bells go tinkle 
And your eyes begin to twinkle 
And the joints and sinews crack 
It's the expansion of your mind death 
Death 
Death 
Death 
The inmost night 
The cat's face glares from shiny card 
The deadcat from my past 
You tumble you froth and fun forever 
An orchestra from another time 
Another world all dead 
The churchbells silent the rainstained glass of God is smashed 
And you take your choice you sup with the devil 
You choke on your pride for ever and ever 
My memory of my inmost light tumbles froth and fun forever 
Vulvaic memories imagined of my would-be-life 
Well that won't be 
And that won't be 
And that won't be 
And for my troubles and my pain 
And for the losses and the wains 
I get a picture in my mind 
The slyly smily smiling kiss 
Of your sweet heart and face 
And your legs in some final benediction 
Your inmost warmheart says ta-ra 
The inmost light 
And I wished to die inside of you 
And push up into your heart so violently that 
Face to face with matrix creatrix am 
The inmost light 
The inmost night
