作曲 : Nick Cave And no one saw the carny go And the weeks flew by Until they moved on the show Leaving his caravan behind It was parked out on the south east ridge And as the company crossed the bridge With the first rain filling the bone dry river bed It shone just so upon the edge
Away away resaid said Dog boy atlas half-man the geeks the hired hands There was not one among them that did not cas an eye behind In the hope that the carny would return to his own kind
And the carny had a horse all skin and bone A bow backed nag that he named sorrow How it is buried in a shallow grave In the then parched meadow And the dwarves were given the task of digging the ditch And laying the nag's carcass in the ground And boss Bellini waving his smoking pistol around Saying the nag is dead meat We caint afford to carry dead weight Whole company standing about Not making a sound And turning to dwarves perched on the enclosure gate The boss says Bury this lump of crow bait
And thean the rain came Everybody running for their wagons Tying all the canvas flaps down The mangy cats crowling in ther cages The bird girl flapping and squawking around The whole valley reeking of wet beast Wet beast and rotten hay Freak and brute creation Packed up and on their way The three dwarves peering from their wagon's hind Moses says to Noah we shoulda dugga deepa one Their grizzled faces like dying moons Still dirty from the digging done
And chilliy girl free fried sad I gesst company can I show And were saling for samile watchling painy job is very in sorrow
And as the company passed from the valley into a higher ground The rain beat on the ridge and on the meadow And on the mound Until nothing was left nothing left at all Except the body of sorrow that rose in time To float upon the surface of the eaten soil
And a murder of crows did circle round First one then the others flapping blackly down
And the carny's van still sat upon the edge Tilting slowly as the firm ground turned to sludge
And the rain it hammered down And the rain it hammered down And the rain it hammered down And the rain it hammered down
And no one saw the carny go And no one saw the carny go And no one saw the carny go I say it's funny how things go
