Carnivale

* *+-CARNIVALE-+* *
The sweat the heat the beat
Rio Carnivale place to meet
Sambaing amazonian princesses
Backpacking explorers daring
Lubricated by wicked rhythms quick
Nowhere parties quite as slick
Jesus watching from Mount above
At a city wide outpouring of love
From golden beach to damned favelas
Pan's music rich does fill us
When the scarlet dawn arrives
A spirit imbued still survives
The Rio scents of tropical sea
A fevered brash fertility
Every sound is Carnivale
Every heart grown carnal
No better place to ever meet
Than Rio in sweat and beat and heat.
