In That Great Street Carnival


Singing the Concept.


Performing the Song.

Performing in pants (rare) and with Jennifer Turner on guitar.

I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
In the diamond 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 my self and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?
By what my eyes have found
In that great street carnival
In that carnival?
