[Intro]
Red velvet curtains spill onto the floor
Promises linger from nights spent before
Gilded illusions flicker and fade
Chasing the shadows that memory made

[Verse 0]
Moonlit and restless, my footsteps draw lines
Mapping the madness between crooked signs
Whispers of velvet, a taste bittersweet
Spinning through riddles on vanishing street

[Verse 1]
Smoke curls beneath the crimson lampshade
Strangers are feasting on secrets we made
Laughter like daggers cuts cold through the night
Hiding my motives behind borrowed light

[Pre-Chorus]
Glass footsteps waltz on the edge of the frame
Questions unanswerable, haunting my brain

[Chorus]
Ooh, you twist and you tumble, falling from grace
Wearing yesterday’s mask on your carnival face
Caught in a spiral, a ribbon of time
With the dust of tomorrow clutching your mind

[Post-Chorus]
Round and round, spinning down
Oh la la, la la la

[Verse 2]
Shadow steps echo through painted halls
Silver eye glimpses behind fractured walls
Silk and wire tangle in midnight hair
Trading your secrets for something rare

[Pre-Chorus]
You crawl through the window, chasing your name
Mirrors are melting, never the same

[Chorus]
Ooh, you twist and you tumble, falling from grace
Wearing yesterday’s mask on your carnival face
Caught in a spiral, a ribbon of time
With the dust of tomorrow clutching your mind

[Post-Chorus]
Round and round, spinning down
Oh la la, la la la

[Bridge]
Copper coins scatter at the turn of my prayers
Serpentine laughter coils round the stairs
Marionette memories drift overhead
Crimson confessions we never have said

[Verse 3]
Shadows lean closer; the curtains recede
Yesterday’s phantoms draw maps of my need
Gossamer riddles climb out of the gloom
I open the door to a carnival room

[Pre-Chorus]
Spinner of puzzles in borrowed attire
Lost in the maze as the lanterns expire

[Chorus]
Ooh, you twist and you tumble, falling from grace
Wearing yesterday’s mask on your carnival face
Caught in a spiral, a ribbon of time
With the dust of tomorrow clutching your mind

[Post-Chorus]
Round and round, spinning down
Oh la la, la la la

[Outro]
Faded confessions slip under my door
Candles burn sideways, melting the floor
Paint on my fingers, a trace of the night
Still spinning circles, just out of sight

Curtains are trembling, silk torn and frayed
Fragments of laughter in twilight parade
All that was promised dances away
Leaving the spiral, I’m carried astray

[Post-Chorus]
Round and round, spinning down
Oh la la, la la la
Oh la la, la

[Coda]
Shattered reflections slip through my hand
Jester's confessions drawn in the sand
Crimson illusions dissolve in the smoke
Carnival ending with riddles I spoke

[Tag]
Round and round, shadows play
Nothing but footprints leading away
Oh la la, la la la
La la la, carried away
