The Tiger Lillies - Fairground lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Fairground lyrics]
Sad clown tries to smile
How quickly goes our innocence
How swiftly we’re defiled
Lost my heart in the fairground when
I saw the cheapest rides
Were the ones the crowds queue for
The sad clown stands aside
The vulgar neon prostitutes they
Always win the day
How swiftly our innocence is swept away
Lost my heart in the fairground when
I saw that it was crap
Well marketed and packaged that
Keeps them coming back
How quickly we do swallow
The bitterest of pills
The neon whores and sycophants
Who peddle cheaper thrills
How quickly fairground barkers learn to shout
The quick and easy buck is
What it’s all about
Lost my heart in the fairground the
Sad clown tries to smile
How quickly goes our innocence
How swiftly we’re defiled
