neil young & promise of the real - carnival lyrics
in a smoky tent i approached his loudness
step by step up the long stairway
and looked into the barrel at evel knievel’s greatgrandfather
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
he was flying by in a silver jacket
he rode there in the barrel rocket
securely held by centrifugal forces
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
every time he touched the edge
with the gas pipe fill my lungs and melt my mind
exploding
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
flying through the air
with the greatest of ease
the daring young lady
in the greatest show on earth
the giant wheel turned in the sky
its colors splashed in my eyes
the barkers calling to me on the midway
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
i held the picture in my eye
from a photo [?] by
with a girl so lovely
i love to [?] at the time
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
she had the sugar in her eyes
i was totally mesmerised
as we walked together towards the big tower
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
flying through the air
with the greatest of ease
the daring young lady
in the greatest show on earth
aside the girl of flaming red hair
later that day i returned there
perhaps the devil himself had been her father
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
then we consumed the giant midway
taking it in ’til it threw us away
yes, we wandered among the crowds of circus goers, circus goers
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
eating fire and swallowing snakes
a ery of nature mistakes
on display at the tent of the bearded ladies
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
riding through the night
with the greatest of ease
the daring young lady
in the greatest show on earth
we were grinding to the human beast
there was nothing safe about it
nothing was right and nothing was wrong on the midway
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
i do exempt
too much time was spent
in the tent of the strange elephant of enlightenment
my mind was free
my thoughts were pure
how much [?] could a man endure
as he made his way towards the big tower
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
flying through the air
with the greatest of ease
the daring young lady
in the greatest show on earth
riding through the night
to the human beast
there’s nothing safe about it
nothing safe about the greatest show on earth
(carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival)
