Lyrics
Carnival (shelter In a Suitcase)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Low club light.
Lips sealed tight.
Expose fade away.
Observer write it all down,
For Me.
No soundtrack,
No fightback,
Noise annoys,
Dark subject.
All the underworld,
Making plans for us.
We are open wide,
Need someone to stand up,
Up, up.
Lovers,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Waiters,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Stangers,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Sailor talk to soldier.
Sailor.
Low club light,
Lips sealed tight,
Expose fade away.
Observer write it all down,
For me.
I'll try,
I'll spy,
I would not buy,
A car from you.
They make uniforms,
Something to call style.
We need to stand up,
We are open wide-ide-ide.
Lovers,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Waiters,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Strangers,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Soldier talk to sailer,
Soldier.
All the underworld,
Making plans for us.
We are open wide,
Need someone to stand up,
Up, up.
Lovers,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Waiters,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Strangers,
Shelter in their suitcase.
Soldier talk to sailer,
Soldier
