Carnival is over Words and music by Michael Seibt Rain is falling down on my paper-crown The clown’s make-up is dry, his lips are formed to cry The dancing crowd is gone back home, I’m standing here alone A0- Rain is falling down on my paper-crown Refrain Carnival is over, the old king is gone - The new one’s yet a’waiting, the show must go on No-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps Everyone will miss the music and the bliss The troubadour is going mad under the fool’s cap And no-one wants to see the secret the clown keeps Refrain At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool His last silly joke is ended up in smoke Blowers of the dutch brass band ‘re searching their instruments At the corner in his puke is lying the court-fool Refrain The rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown I take all high spirits and bin it bit by bit I cross myself, confess my sins before they day will begin Rain’s still falling down on my paper-crown Refrain Outro: 0 3 2 0 0 0
