Words Like Arsenic (Thyne Eyes Befell the Celestial Carnival)

Laughing clown ventures forth in a hot air balloon
Spreads his magic fairy dust all around the room
Little good girls and little good boys set their eyes to the sky
Wanna see just how high the crazy clown can fly

I see the world through your golden eyes
The lizards who taught me to read
My love’s like a library card, it’s all the same to me
I make an attempt trying to see the trend
But I can’t get to the end
It’s just the pain that time won’t mend
Like poisonous ink from a pen

Flame weekends in the pale moonlight
The clown’s journey ends tonight
Somberly yet sweetly he puts out his pilot light
Lands softly in the water, his ambition grows dry
Little good girls and little good boys begin to cry

I see the world through your golden eyes
The lizards who taught me to read
My love’s like a library card, it’s all the same to me
I make an attempt trying to see the trend
But I can’t get to the end
It’s just the pain that time won’t mend
Like poisonous ink from a pen
