I think Earth is the carnival planet of the universe.

A song by Natalie Merchant


Carnival


I've walked these streets
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
Make-up on their faces
Actors took their places
Next to me
I've walked these streets
In a carnival
Of sights to see
All the cheap thrill seekers
The vendors and the dealers
They crowded around me
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Inside myself and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?
I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
In the diamonds markets
The scarlet welcome carpet
That they just rolled out for me
I've walked these streets
In the mad house asylum
They can be
Where a wild eyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped
And he raved of saving me
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Inside myself and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?
Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
To shut my eyes
And play along
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen
What they have seen?
Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
Have I been strong
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have found
In that great street carnival
In that carnival?




I agree with you...

Lexxian?

*smile* I never said I was original....

I've been meaning to reread the Hitchhiker trilogy for a few months now. I need to get on the ball.

*laugh* Freaky and fun: two great tastes that go great together.

If you asked me, I would say "wacky and weird". But maybe that's more a circus description than carnival....

I appreciate you posting this. Reading it was very different from simply listening to it. I think, when it comes to songs, it's often too easy to slip over the lyrics and pay attention to the music. (Except for the chorus, of course.)
