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 stairsSo you follow on, tip right in, latch the bar lean to
Feel the smooth touch of summer skin
When it all starts movin' like no one else can see you
Cupid pulls the lever and the whole thing spinsYou had a shiny ride gettin' out of here
And we never heard a word when you just disappeared
Just disappearedAnd 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 spinnin' so hard it holds you in your chairSpin, you had a shiny ride gettin' out of here
And we never heard a word when you just disappeared
You just disappearedWell that shiny ride of his lies and his skin
To lead you on and he pulls you in, he took you for a spinWhen 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 spinnin' slows downYou had a shiny ride gettin' out of here
We never heard a word when you just disappeared[Incomprehensible]He took you for a spin
Sorry, c'mon let's, let's walk it off
