Carnies Lyrics - Clockwork Angels - Rush

Under the gaze of the eight elms, 

A spectacle like you've never seen: 

Spinning lights and faces, 

Demon music and gypsy queens! 

The glint of iron wheels! 

The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! 

Oh, the smell of flint and steel! 

A wheel of fate, a game of chance! 

How I pray just to get away, 

To carry me anywhere. 

Sometimes the angels punish us 

By answering our prayers, 

By answering our prayers...

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The face of naked evil 

Turns a young boy's blood to ice; 

(Indistinguishable), 

Such a dangerous device. 

The glint of iron wheels! 

The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! 

Oh, the smell of flint and steel! 

A wheel of fate, a game of chance! 

Oh, shout toward the crowd; 

Laughed elation ringing loud! 

(Indistinguishable) marks in the hands of the innocent. 

The angry crowd moves towards him with malintent. 

How I pray just to get away, 

To carry me anywhere. 

Sometimes the angels punish us 

By answering our prayers, 

By answering our prayers...
