@TheStyleCrusader I think it's summed up in: "The three dwarves peering from their wagon's hind Moses says to Noah "We shoulda dugga deepa one" Their grizzled faces like dying moons Still dirty from the digging done ... And they were silent for a spell, wishin they had done a better job of burying Sorrow ... Until nothing was left, nothing left at all Except the body of sorrow That rose in time" I like to think its about trying hide what hurts- but on top of that it is a whimsical ballad.

@gothdeer What is your interpretation of the metaphor?

Nick Cave is just a badass

A movie could be built around this.

And the dwarves were given the task of digging the ditch
And laying the nag's carcass in the ground
And boss Bellini, waving his smoking pistol around
saying "The nag is dead meat"
"We caint afford to carry dead weight"
The whole company standing about
Not making a sound
And turning to dwarves perched on the enclosure gate
The boss says "Bury this lump of crow bait"

the best song ever.

This is probably my favourite version of The Carny, there's just so much deranged passion running through it!
