Didn't we have a devil of a time?
Didn't we have a devil of a time?
A stranger stumbled into town
Talkin? turnin' tables 'round
Didn't we have a devil of a time?
We shot and slammed
The glasses upside down
Shot and slammed
the glasses upside down
I was the last one to take a mask
But the first one to strike a match
Shot and slammed
The glasses upside down
Didn?t I paint a face
On the sleeping guard?
Didn?t I paint a face
on the sleeping guard?
Well convention sleeps
when the sun goes down
so copper try and catch me now
Didn?t I paint a face
on the sleeping guard?
well the silent sirens wait
in the allyways
the silent sirens wait
in the allyways
till the stone of order's cracked in two
We can spin the red and blue
silent sirens wait in the ally-
ways the ally-
ways the ally-
ways
for the Moon is under-
water
of the carnival
Can-na-ls
got to rattle fragile boarders
for whats a city with no underground
ya ya-ya ya-ya ya-ya-ya
ya ya-ya ya-ya ya-ha
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
no underground
to wander through a Venetian maze
when I never marched
the streets of New Orleans
but the Devil's brew I drank tonight
tomorrow have me exorcised
and tighten up my necktie once again
crown me the merry Lord of Misrule
with my crack mask, lei,
hangover and a ragged suite
at curbside I crept from sleep
some stranger left behind his reeds
crown me the merry Lord of Misrule
Hey Hey
for the Moon is under-
water
of the carnival
Can----na--ls
got to rattle fragile boarders
for whats a city with no underground
