[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival
[Outro]
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival
She's a Carnival, she's a Carnival
She's a Carnival
She's a Carnival
