lyrics

(carnival wheel)

There's a boy on a carnival wheel with a pocket of borrowed silver
And a woman selling promises in bottles by the gate
And the whole thing turns on a motor that somebody stole in Leeds
And nobody's asking questions while the lights are still going

And it does not have to mean anything
That is what they never understood
The chorus does not have to mean anything, it has to LIFT

Carnival wheel, carnival wheel
Spin me round again, I have not finished yet
Carnival wheel, carnival wheel
Up in the dark with the whole town underneath us

There's a man selling maps to a city that closed in the war
And I bought two of them, obviously, and I framed them

(hammond solo, driving, 32 bars)

Carnival wheel, carnival wheel
Spin me round again, I have not finished yet
Carnival wheel, carnival wheel
Up in the dark with the whole town underneath us

(spin me round)
