The Night He Took Her To The Fairground
Her glasses fell on the grass
They were reflected in the lens
Though short-sighted she knew
That they could never be friends
And as he pulled her down
She threw off his new suede shoes
He didn't carry protection and
She'd just blown a fuse
She laughed but it wasn't at him
She called him a crazy fool
Well she'd broken all of her promise
And he'd broken her golden rule
They kissed but their eyes were closed
And she said ain't love blind
Well she put his scarf round her eyes
But the attachment was just a bind
The tunnel was out of love
The waltzer made no sound
The ghost train was on fire, on fire
And the merry go went round and round
The roller coasted on
As they went up and down
It was the night that he took her to the fairground
It was the night that he took her to the fairground
She ran away so fast
Like water down a drain
Well they met and they tried to pretend that
They were strangers on a train
Well she poisoned him with words
Well he tried to spit them out
Well he thought it was all absurd
You know that he had got no doubt
You know she was bending him out of shape
Well just like plastic warps
He was an actor in her play but he was
Just beginning to corpse
They molded together well
Her hand fit into his glove
And they were making up this story while
While they were making love
Yeah the tunnel was out of love
The waltzer made no sound
The ghost train was on fire, on fire
And the merry go went round and round
The roller coasted on
And they went up and down
It was the night that he took her to the fairground
It was the night that he took her to the fairground
A Noite em Que Ele a Levou ao Parque de Diversões
Os óculos dela caíram na grama
Refletidos nas lentes
Embora míope, ela sabia
Que nunca poderiam ser amigos
E enquanto ele a puxava pra baixo
Ela tirou os sapatos de camurça novos
Ele não tinha proteção e
Ela acabara de perder a razão
Ela riu, mas não era dele
Chamou ele de louco
Bem, ela quebrou todas as promessas
E ele quebrou a regra de ouro dela
Eles se beijaram, mas os olhos estavam fechados
E ela disse que o amor é cego
Bem, ela amarrou o lenço nos olhos
Mas a ligação era só um fardo
O túnel estava sem amor
O carrossel não fez som
O trem fantasma estava pegando fogo, pegando fogo
E o carrossel girava sem parar
A montanha-russa subia e descia
Enquanto eles iam pra cima e pra baixo
Foi na noite em que ele a levou ao parque de diversões
Foi na noite em que ele a levou ao parque de diversões
Ela correu tão rápido
Como água pelo ralo
Bem, eles se encontraram e tentaram fingir que
Eram estranhos em um trem
Bem, ela o envenenou com palavras
Ele tentou cuspir tudo isso
Ele achou tudo absurdo
Você sabe que ele não tinha dúvidas
Você sabe que ela estava moldando ele
Assim como plástico se deforma
Ele era um ator na peça dela, mas ele estava
Só começando a se perder
Eles se moldaram bem juntos
A mão dela cabia na luva dele
E eles estavam criando essa história enquanto
Enquanto faziam amor
É, o túnel estava sem amor
O carrossel não fez som
O trem fantasma estava pegando fogo, pegando fogo
E o carrossel girava sem parar
A montanha-russa subia e descia
E eles iam pra cima e pra baixo
Foi na noite em que ele a levou ao parque de diversões
Foi na noite em que ele a levou ao parque de diversões
