Cover art for Bye lyrics by Elliott Smith

I see a carnival closing down for the night and all the freaks and geeks are just around the dark corners. Some lamps light the night but you can't seem to make out whether those figures on the carousel are really alive or not. This wonderful, weird, weave of sound dissolves into a rainbow of faded colors as it is packed away into waiting railroad cars before it disappears to another town far away from here.
