1. CARNIVALIA

Quit your complaining, so what if its raining, everyone there is tongue tied.
Summon the baritones, levy the capricorns, ready or not we're nearby.

Carnivalia its the strangest show on earth.
Carnivalia who is your master?
Carnivalia for all you boys and girls.
Carnivalia can we go any faster?

Sculptures and paintings, superstitiously fainting, please let the midget squeeze by.
Summon the baritones, levy the capricorns, ready or not we're nearby.

Carnivalia its the strangest show on earth.
Carnivalia who is your master?
Carnivalia for all you boys and girls.
Carnivalia can we go any faster?

Opium rugs
Satin bed bugs.
Your perfume puts me right to sleep.

Laugh if you will.
Cry for the thrill as the spotlight falls on you and on me.


2. A MAGIC LADDER

I found a magic ladder.
I see the pharaohs’ feast on vagabonds.

I have a magic ladder.
It takes me where I want and when i want.

I climbed this magic ladder.
I saw the hands of god tied in a knot.

I have a magic ladder.
He asked me to stay back so he can mummify!

Love me like the very day you met me,
Or at the very least protect me
From the lepers on your bed.
Love me like the very way you left me, Love me
Or at the very least transcend me
To a different time or place.

One at a time I will climb.
One at a time like good wine.
One at a time I'll refine.
One at a time, every time!

Love me like the very day you met me,
Or at the very least protect me
From the lepers on your bed.
Love me like the very way you left me, Love me
Or at the very least transcend me
To a different time or place.


3. VIKTOR'S SISTER

Runaway to a far and distant land where fools fall in love knee deep in sand.
Hold your breath till her vultures come to pass for you are a dove limp on her grass.

Getaway and never bring her back, she's cruel like a clock turning too fast.
In a dream dressed in a long and silky robe she will become white as a ghost.

Viktor's sister uglified.
Viktor's sister petrified.
Viktor's sister!

Viktor's sister crucified.
Viktor's sister mortified.
Viktor's sister!

She's well on her way to reach the stars.
She's well on her way to break your heart.
She's well on her way to kiss the sky.
She's well on her way to live a lie.

Viktor's sister uglified.
Viktor's sister petrified.
Viktor's sister!

Viktor's sister crucified.
Viktor's sister mortified.
Viktor's sister!

Stay away you nymphomaniac your breasts may be soft but they are no match,
For my gun is powered by the sun with god as my witness your evening has come.

Viktor's sister uglified.
Viktor's sister petrified.
Viktor's sister!

Viktor's sister crucified.
Viktor's sister mortified.
Viktor's sister!

She's well on her way to reach the stars.
She's well on her way to break your heart.
She's well on her way to kiss the sky.
She's well on her way to live a lie.


4. HOURGLASS

Last night I dreamt of holy lands with unholy laws.
Last night I met an acrobat without any arms.
The shortest straw will win her hand in marriage.

Tonight I long for fairy tales and heavy hearts.
Tonight I turn over every stone that you wore out.
The shortest straw will win her hand in marriage.

I'll find you, then hide you, in my hourglass,
I'll find you, then hide you, in my hourglass.

Fickled seasons. Seasoned demons.
Rumi's reasons got me thinking now.

I'll find you, then hide you, in my hourglass,
I'll find you, then hide you, in my hourglass.


5. ILLUMINATION

(Instrumental)


6. SHALL WE REIGN DANCE?

Boisterous, thunderous slam of the doors.
Morrison's got a case of the whores.
Curious, furious tigers galore.
Like it or not the splinter is yours.

Blasphemous, scrupulous triptych facade.
Moses is now connecting the dots.
Curious, furious kingdoms of god.
Like it or not the devil forgot.

Look to the ceiling for that feeling on dry fresco.
The voice in the Vatican has the librarian on her toes.

Reign dance!

Chivalrous, dubious draconian lord.
Ready or not he's sharpened his sword.
Curious, furious federal boars.
Like it or not the carcass is yours.

Look to the ceiling for that feeling on dry fresco.
The voice in the Vatican has the librarian on her toes.

Reign dance!

Shall we reign dance until the fire grows.
Shall we reign dance until I propose.
Shall we reign dance until the fire grows.
Shall we reign dance until you oppose.
Shall we reign dance until the music is dead.
Shall we reign dance until that's all that's said.
Shall we reign dance to the evil eye.
Shall we reign dance till we win or die.

Look to the ceiling for that feeling!

Reign dance!


7. EVERYBODY WANTS MONEY!

Everybody wants money
Everybody wants money
Everybody everybody everybody, yeah!
Everybody wants money
Everybody wants money
Everybody everybody everybody, yeah!

Banks and cathedrals are the villains of the night.
Bet you can never catch them wide eyed!
Tied to the anvil is our darling concubine.
Where will she dine tonight? Oh my...

Riding the coattails are the toadies chewing chives.
Playing the trumpets throughout the night. Why?
Smoking cohibas on any given night.
Where will I find me a light? Oh my...

Well now your secrets are safe with me.
There's a blind man loans advice and depending on what he'll see, he'll be willing to meet your price...you are so hot!

Fly with me.
Side with me.
Hide with me my only love.

Cry with me.
Lie with me.
Die with me my love!

Everybody wants money
Everybody wants money
Everybody everybody everybody, yeah!


8. SPARRING

Diamond cufflinks, tongue piercings.
Rowdy hecklers throughout the breeze.
Take this gift of potpourri and shove it far up your arse.

Put ‘em up! put ‘em up!
Throw ‘em up! Throw ‘em up!
Shut ‘em up! Shut ‘em up!

Who’s this weakling who’s always acting?
Skakespeare pleases me. I wish to spar.

Who’d like to spar?
I love to spar outside the bar.

Put ‘em up! put ‘em up!
Throw ‘em up! Throw ‘em up!
Shut ‘em up! Shut ‘em up!

Who’s this weakling who’s barely breathing?
Skakespeare drinks to me.

I wish to spar.
Who’d like to spar?
I love to spar outside the bar.

Broken bottles to broken knees.
Eat your chicks and not your peas.
My best friend the amputee has a fine gold belt in sparring.

Diamond cufflinks, tongue piercings.
Rowdy hecklers throughout the breeze.
Take this gift of potpourri and shove it far up your arse.

Step up to me, let's go outside.
Leave your fears and soul behind.
Don't fear the love that you had, the same old story drove me mad.
Don't hold a grudge, let out the rage.
Let's turn the book on the proper page.
I coudn't stand the look you had so let's solve this problem man to man.

Put ‘em up! put ‘em up!
Throw ‘em up! Throw ‘em up!
Shut ‘em up! Shut ‘em up!


9. THINGS ARE AWKWARD

Things are getting a little awkward for myself.
Things are getting a little awkward for you and no one else so I ask myself.

And you'll never get to see my face again!
And I'm never coming back!
I'm on the verge of completely losing it!

And I'm never coming back here again!
And you'll never be my friend!
I'm on the verge of completely losing it!

Things are getting a little awkward for myself.
Things are getting a little awkward for you and no one else so I ask myself.

And you'll never get to see my face again!
And I'm never coming back!
I'm on the verge of completely losing it!

And I'm never coming back here again!
And you'll never be my friend!
I'm on the verge of completely losing it!

Things are getting a little awkward for myself.
Things are getting a little awkward for you and no one else so I ask myself.


10. TRICKY TRICKY

I took a page out from the Bible.
I came across a disciple with no soul.
He felt ashamed to his rival.
I may as well be on my own.
I sat and watched it all unfold.

Tricky tricky tricky tricky I am a liar.
Tricky tricky tricky tricky I'm so desired.
Tricky tricky tricky tricky don't be so anxious.
Tricky tricky tricky tricky... so is it contagious?

I took a dip into the Nile.
I swam along for hours with no clothes.
I made a friend in a crocodile.
We spent our days drinking cheap wine.
We threw it up all of the time. Oh!

Tricky tricky tricky tricky I am a liar
Tricky tricky tricky tricky I'm so desired
Tricky tricky tricky tricky don't be so anxious
Tricky tricky tricky tricky... so is it contagious?

Tricky tricky tricky tricky I am a liar
Tricky tricky tricky tricky I'm so desired
Tricky tricky tricky tricky you're much too gracious!
Tricky tricky tricky tricky and a bit flirtatious!

Tricky tricky tricky tricky I am a liar
Tricky tricky tricky tricky I'm so desired
Tricky tricky tricky tricky don't be so anxious
Tricky tricky tricky tricky... you're so contagious!


11. POOR PETE

When I was ten a way back when I planned and hiked my great escape.
Out through the woods a neighborhood of carnivores I looked the bait.
I came across an elder man to which he had only one tooth,
He held a flask and dared to ask where the hell you running young nephew,

And he said...

Woah I feel really bad for you!

Around eleven I went to heaven and made a deal for their mistake.
All drenched in blood I felt a tug and someone asking for my name.
My name is Pete what's with this sheet and who the hell are all of you?
You cracked your head and should be dead but here's a check from us to you,

And they said...

Woah I feel really bad for you!

It's alright!

Poor Pete we're sorry we hurt you!
Poor Pete we promise you that one day we'll walk in your shoes.

Woah I feel really bad for you!


12. MEET ME AT THE TROUBADOUR

Meet me at the troubadour with your violins.
Meet me at the troubadour, bring your theremin.

S'il vous plaît a rendezvous for just a few crazy drunken men.
S'il vous plaît a rendezvous just with you and your foreign friends.

Meet me at the troubadour for some ambience.
Meet me at the troubadour under the influence.

S'il vous plaît a rendezvous for just a few crazy drunken men.
S'il vous plaît a rendezvous just with you.

Where you going?
Where you going oh little girl?
Where you going?
Where you going my little pearl.

I feel the waves through my veins out down the hall.
I feel at ease knowing you'll be my doll.

Meet me at the troubadour read the napkin.
Meet me at the troubadour much to his chagrin.

S'il vous plaît a rendezvous for just a few crazy drunken men.
S'il vous plaît a rendezvous just with you.
