A truly beautiful song. "Carnival dogs" is what throws everyone off, erasing lines that define a face, a description, an identity. Carnival dogs may just be the distractions in life, or interest over time. Maybe Jim as the singer is saying that it's been a while since their good chemistry, and it's worn off? Carnival dogs may be his way of describing the gremlins in his mind losing memory of her, destroying the lines that make up her face.

@Milquetoast - See my reply to sawfish666 above for my interpretation of this. I saw quite a few carnival dogs and spinning Aztec calendar stones back in the day ;)
