about

a very blatant tip of the hat to Mikelangelo's "The Carnival Goes On All The Same", the lyrics of which came to Sokratis in a dream.

lyrics

Take the pills from a twitching girl's knapsack,
Steal the sniffs from a bus driver's nose,
Snap the fingers of a young virtuoso
And plant them in the ground to grow.

Hold the hips of a boy you've been chasing,
Chase his lips the entire way home,
Never stop and ask for directions
Cos remember you're always alone.

CHORUS
Whisper to me your innermost secrets,
Whisper to me what you want for Christmas,
I'll die both your arms to the head of my bed,
Just remember you're never alone.

In my formative years I killed sparrows -
Never won me too many friends -
Of an evening I'd suck out the marrow
And bury their dry skeletons.

Now with a bag of bones on my shoulders,
My feet'll take me deep into death
And in the morning they'll find me a-floatin'
All lost to the seas in their depth

CHORUS

But the carnival goes on all the same (Going nowhere)
So it was, and so it will remain (Without warning)
We churn on like an olden day steam train (End your mourning)
And burn on like a moth to the flame.
