mardi gras song (by nathan moore) confiding in strangers torn at the stem there's a mardi gras in my head i wish i wasn't born again if wishes were horses there'd be some in my soup time until tuesday dames on the stoop but wishes aren't horses tie cans to the carriage throw those beads at my feet this is the marriage of heaven and hell listen as the clock ticks tell time is the stranger I is the voyeur here comes the ramblers there go the dice we all start fasting at midnight tonight and this time through, i'm gonna get things write 'em down but wishes aren't horses tie cans to the carriage throw those beads at my feet this is the marriage of heaven and hell listen as the clock ticks tell tonight these streets will be littered with laughter drunk with the zulu and "show me your tits!" but i'm already in the morning after smiling and weeping sweeping up all this shit but wishes aren't horses tie cans to the carriage throw those beads at my feet this is the marriage of heaven and hell listen as the clock ticks twelve ---- [ debut was 3/21/02 madison wisconson, not everyday you can see BAM, nathan and jfjo on the same stage. ] Transcribed by Tim Lambert, corrections by Cleantone.
