Letras
Midnight teeth on the ferris lights
Paint peeled saints and paper-white
Ticket of ash, I take your hand
Heartbeat drum as the music bans
Calliope grin with a bent gold tune
Mirror-maze eyes and a bloodless moon
If wheels need pulse to start their slow
Give me your rhythm-don't let go
Round and round the darkness goes coffin carousel, we chose
Chain-rattle time, the horses groan
We rise and fall on borrowed bones
Round and round the darkness goes coffin carousel, we chose
Your heart in mine, the axles sing
We only move if our pulses cling
Cotton-sweet rot in the winter air
Fortune cards burned to keep us there
I hear your name in the tent-flap hiss
Cold brass pole, communion kiss
Ticket-taker with a stitched-up mouth
Counts our beats to drag us south
If speed is breath and breath is debt
Lean in closer-pay it yet
Round and round the darkness goes coffin carousel, we chose
Chain-rattle time, the horses groan
We rise and fall on borrowed bones
Round and round the darkness goes coffin carousel, we chose
Your heart in mine, the axles sing
We only move if our pulses cling
Doom-toms thunder, spokes confess
Calliope warps into emptiness
Grip the mane of the midnight steed
Count to ten-make the shadows feed
If one heart stalls, the world goes still
The bulbs go black above the hills
So take my pulse and wear it tight
Lace it through your veins tonight
I'll be the drum, you be the wheel
Turn me 'til the gravesites reel
Round and round the darkness goes coffin carousel, we chose
Chain-rattle time, the horses groan
We rise and fall on borrowed bones
Round and round the darkness goes coffin carousel, we chose
Two hearts welded, iron ring
We only move when our pulses sing
Last lap fades to a phantom bell
We stop together, under the spell
Hands still locked where the black wind fell
Our hearts the engine, the carousel
