|
Circus-boy run-away steely-eyed gypsy
|
Seems to be adjusted to the clatter of the fair
|
He says "watch your step" as he tears two tickets briskly
|
Watches her summer legs climb the stairs
|
|
So you follow on, tip right in, latch the bar, lean to
|
Feel the smooth touch of summer skin
|
Then it all starts moving like no one else can see you
|
Cupid pulls the lever and the whole thing spins
|
|
You had a shiny ride getting out of here
|
We never heard a word when you disappeared
|
|
Suddenly your lover just climbs right out
|
Steps across thin air and leaves you there
|
Try to catch your breath, but the bar is tight against your chest
|
And the ride is spinning so hard it holds you in your chair
|
|
Spin
|
You had a shiny ride getting out of here
|
We never heard a word when you disappeared
|
|
Well that shiny ride was just lies and skin
|
To lead you on, pull you in
|
Took you for a spin
|
|
When it lets you out you find it's many months later
|
Deep into winter in a small-time town
|
Walking kind aimlessly, one hand on a railing
|
You stop a while to wait until the spinning slows down
|
|
'Cause you had a shiny ride getting out of here
|
We never heard a word when you disappeared
|
Well that shiny ide was just lies and skin
|
To lead you on, pull you in
|
Took you for a spin
|
|
Come on and ride on a shiny new love
|
Don't look behind you can step right up
|
Come on and ride on a shiny new love
|
Don't look behind you can step right up
|
|
Took you for a spin
|
