High above the city

Sun sinking low

Pinpricks in the darkness

Carnival below


See them caught up in the undertow

The rabble rip tide turning 

Iridescent in the afterglow

Down where the barrels are burning

Cloud cover red

Cloud cover blue

Star burst up ahead

Rain down on you


Maybe you're caught up in the undertow

The rabble rip tide turning

Iridescent in the afterglow

Down where the barrels are burning


Running down the hill

Dust in my eyes

Sink down to the city mile

Watch the rabble rise

Now I’m caught up in the undertow

The rabble rip tide turning

Iridescent in the afterglow

Down where the barrels are burning

 

And they’re burning so bright

As they roll down the city mile

I’m blinded by the light

Drums beating all the while

Now I see the parade

Come marching through

Masked silhouettes come swirling then

I see you

Dancing in the half light

Frozen in time

We reach out across the crowd

Your hand touches mine

But now we’re caught up in the undertow

The rabble rip tide turning

Carried away in the afterglow

Down to where the barrels are burning
