Carnival, The Lyrics - More Late Night Transmissions With Jaya The Cat - Jaya The Cat

As the lights go down at the carnival and the last ride grinds to a stop 

All the bums are singing at the patterned glass in the church across the lot 

And all the thieves and the liers and the hypocrites that brought us down so low 

All pile past the coffin, man, like wolves out on a prowl 

And everyone has an alibi, no one was at the scene 

The only eulogy is written out in spray paint on the street 

Lady Libery, what the hell is happening? 

It seems like your torch - it don't burn for me(?) 

Your children are hungry, they can't find their way home 

Whatever happened to the dream 

And druggies(?) and the drunks and the burnout(?) punks 

Are wandering the streets 

Just looking for a fast(?)? of happiness 

To burn away their broken dreams 

While in a penthouse apartment in the high row(?) 

Standing high above the filth 

You know the promise land just wouldn't make a promise to someone else 

And the guns on the roof are silenced for now, but you still dont feel safe 

Until you're locked in your room, five floors up, man, planning your escape 

Lady libery, what the hell is happening? 

It seems like your torch - it don't burn for me(?) 

Your children are hungry, they can't find their way home 

Whatever happened to the dream
