Fiendish wonder in a carnival's wake

Old caresses once again irritate


Tread softly stranger


Move over toward the danger that you seek




You think excitement has receded then the mirror distracts


The logic of the trends quickly reaches and grasps

Handsome and faceless


And weightless your imagination runs




And now it's no one's fault but yours


At the foot of the house of cards


You thought you'd never get obsessed

You thought the wolves would be impressed





And you're a sinking stone

But you know what it's like to hold the jeweler's hands


That precession of pioneers all drown




And the moonlight they're more thrilling


Those things that he knows


As he leads you through the grinning, bubble blowers in the snow

Watching his exit is like falling off the ferry in the night





The inevitables gather to push you around

Any old voice makes such a punishing sound


He became laughter's $$#assin


Shortly after he showed you what it was




And now it's no one's fault but yours


At the foot of the house of cards

You thought you'd never get obsessed


You thought the wolves would be impressed




And you're a sinking stone


But you know what it's like to hold the jeweler's hands


That precession of pioneers all drown




If you've a lesson to teach me

I'm listening, ready to learn


There's no one here to police me

I'm sinking in until you return




If you've a lesson to teach me

Don't deviate, don't be afraid


Without the last corner piece I can't calibrate

Let's get it ingrained




If you've a lesson to teach me

I'm listening, ready to learn

There's no one here to police me


I'm sinking in until you return



If you've a lesson to teach me


Don't deviate, don't be afraid

Without the last corner piece I can't calibrate

Let's get it ingrained




If you've a lesson to teach me

I'm listening, ready to learn

There's no one here to police me


I'm sinking in until you return



If you've a lesson to teach me

Don't deviate, don't be afraid
