Serpintine
Maybe it's just age or a thousand other fears That took me back tonight to my early carnival years I can see the period moving like the source of the old Golf Stream Oh, what a lovely dream
Adolescent lust was begging for a start As I sidestepped those brothers with their sacred hearts Yep, those two weeks a year, it was all about sin Follies chasing death, you can count me in
There's flannel man with a golden ring And a cruel, north wind, smells like kerosene Here comes the flow of a carnival queen I wanna wrap her in serpentine
Hands up high, eyes open wide Throw me something, mister, that's why you ride Cracker jacks with tares inside
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Kneel beyond our wildest dreams Foots and masks that are too … Some things really are the way they seem
Beads and confetti were littering the air When the queen looked at me with her Ava Gardner stare Though tomorrow would bring ashes and penance by the tongue Mardi Gras is where I learned to have fun
There's flannel man with a golden ring And a cruel, north wind, smells like kerosene I'm still in love with the carnival queen I wanna wrap her in serpentine
Still wanna wrap her in serpentine
It was the devil!
