Carnival in Harlem

There's a Carnival in Harlem

Where my lady reads her gospel

From a balcony of bones

And I'm on my way to see her

For as long as I'm without her

There will be no such thing as home

Certainly, oh, I agree this feels right

And your invitation tempts me so

Normally, a former me would stay the night

Oh, but there is somewhere I must go

There's a Carnival in Harlem

Where my lady reads her gospel

From a balcony of bones

And I'm on my way to see her

For as long as I'm without her

There will be no such thing as home

Lately I've been half alive and wounded

Ravaged by the wolves and left for dead

Oh, it's true I really hate to do this

But there is somewhere I must go instead

There's a Carnival in Harlem

Where my lady reads her gospel

From a balcony of bones

And I'm on my way to see her

For as long as I'm without her

There will be no such thing as home

She believes in Haunted Things

And tells me I'm a fascinating liar

We believe in Haunted Things

I tell you we're a building on fire

There's a Carnival in Harlem

Where my lady reads her gospel

From a balcony of bones

And I'm on my way to see her

For as long as I'm without her

There will be no such thing as home

There will be no such thing as home

There will be no such thing as home

There will be no such thing as home

There will be no such thing as home
