More often than not the path you should take
Isn't surrounded by neon and fake
A taro card deck corners are bent

How many times must the fool be spent
In a hall of mirrors and candy floss face
There's a beckoning finger that you cannot chase


In the fairground
This is your town

In the fairground

Love thy neighbor so the saying goes

Looking across at eleven small toes
Take a place in line for a ginormous wheel
Shout from the top one in a tow ticket deal

Raise up the hammer and let it fall down
Ring the bell and walk away with a frown


In the fairground
This is your town
In the fairground


If the truth was spoken and anyone heard
The laughter and merriment would just be absurd

Perpetual song discordant and rare
Behind the laughter lies tear and despair
So take up your place strike up the band

Unless you want to walk away with nothing in hand

In the fairground

This is your town
In the fairground


One two three
Dance with me
