Fiendish wonder in the carnival's wake   Though it caresses once again irritate   Tread softly stranger   Move over toward the danger THAT you seek      You think excitement has receded   And the mirror distracts   The logic of the trance   Quickly reaches and grasps   Handsome and faceless   And weightless, your imagination roams      And now it's no ones 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 jeweller's hand   That procession of pioneers all drowned      In 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 a punishing sound   He became laughter's assassin   Shortly after he showed you what it was      And now it's no ones 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 jeweller's hand   That procession of pioneers all drowned      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   Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,   Let’s get it ingrained
