Carnival Creatures (Lyric) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
Folks think that nothing happens out here
Where the wheat and corn ripple under wind
But I've seen the circles come then disappear
Under no influence born witness by men
And father's not himself anymore
All he does is drink in the swing
While mom is out working at the shoe factory.
The cows have died off
The horses ran away
The chickens will not lay eggs
And nights take longer than days
My dog went missing too
Since the carnival came to town.
I've met a young man with
Stories and fresh fruit
With a new Swiss Army knife
And now that the war is over
He wants me for a wife.
But father won't let me be on my own
And the bottle keeps him up all night
All circles end, and come in pairs
Who's to say monsters ain't right.
