All these lights keep burning out
All my joints are creaking
Hush now all you speaking
Someone raise the ladder now
this roof above needs mending
the weight of air keeps bending
Drop your phones and diamond rings
You'll catch me when you're breathing
And all the while the carnival don't end
but will be leaving
Hold my hand, don't turn away
this ride is just beginning
Every little boy and girl, come sing a tune of longing
of stars and moons and drifting
where my days end and yours begin
and your days end, and the next one rings
and we'll teach each every one to sing
Drop your phones and diamond rings
You'll catch me when you're breathing
And all the while the carnival don't end
but will be leaving
Hold my hand, don't turn away
this ride is just beginning
All these lights keep burning out, but somehow we're still seeing.
