So the carnival's a no show
But you line up all the same
With daylight on the wane
It took your horizontal crutch
And said thank you very much
I hope you stay the same
But the showgirls stay in touch
They always paint your phone
When you are all alone
But these wasted roads
Will always shatter those
And that will expose
All that the shows impose
Inside of you
The eaten melon moon
So you're old enough to know
But young enough to try
This thing of getting by
And the ride has long to go
The ferris wheel in tow
The carnival aglow
You find the trailers of the lions light
If you know it to be true
It's all just lies multiplied by two
See the circus sea
Nail down the boundaries
And the freaks all flee
Mismatched amalgamy
Which obscures the view
Of the eaten melon moon
You can hang yourself out to dry
But the starlight still applies
A romance to your eyes
The official facts of fiction feed
The affection of a few
To the complexion of the wise
And your diamonds turn to dust
As the carnival combusts
A luscious lazy lust
The martyrs masquerade
In their electric robes
As the neon flames in mud will decompose
And we'll start anew
To make the eaten melon moon
