Lyrics

Carnival Queen

Carnival queen

All the ghosts lay by your side

Moaning, groaning

Songs of woe

Carnival queen

Your hair is on fire

Your arrows pierce my bones

Angel, madonna

Your eyes are on fire

Breathing quiet prayers

Angel, madonna

You breathe

Pumping life into my veins

Carnival queen

All the ghosts stay by your side

Moaning, groaning

Songs of woe

Carnival queen

Your hair is on fire

Your nails pierce my palms
