In the heart of the night

She smiles like Mardi-Gras

Spinning in a dizzy haze

Her circus head giggles

It's a friendly disease

Catching colours from the air

So with your hands

Upon the hips

Of the dancing flesh

She's a Carnival

And when it's lip to lip

In a surprise-time kiss

She's a Carnival

Mosaic eye

Gypsy eye

Glowing as it dazzles

She's a portrait of a poison

For you to quench your thirst

A portrait of a poison
