⬅ Carnival Of Pills

---

[Verse 1]
It was midnight when she called
Throttled in remorse
No tears, just confessions
And she called it new home furnishing
So I knew it was a lie
But I asked for a new rendition
No-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Alberta stood in flaw
She asked for the shoe to drop
Nervous and delightful
She ain't never wanna see those hoods again
Who waited at the county fair
Faithless and so frightful
No-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, as she's standing so easily misled
She holds her carnival of pills
And she slowly makes her bed

[Verse 3]
His name was known by few
He waited on her porch
His Buick in the driveway
His leather jacket labelled "none"
His tattoos known to lie
"Son, just drop her on the highway"
No-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 4]
She got into the car
He offered her a drink
She said she ain't got time for pity
He stopped and picked a pack of smokes
The tendrils dancing in the car
Burning from the city
No-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
And as she sits there alone in his car
She holds her carnival of pills
That she pressed against her heart

[Verse 5]
They found her facing down
On highway 55
Byzantine and deconstructed
And none was more the wiser then
Than not to say her name, she lies
Thoroughly deconstructed
No-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
And as she lies there, her smile looks amused
She holds her carnival of pills
Neglected and abused
