about
A creepy little song with David Lynch undertones.
Part of the December release in ButterflyPolite's year of montly singles.
lyrics
Ride at a fairground
Act surprised as your insides have fallen away
Waltzers are dancing
Leaving you gasping and clawing for air
What's fun about unfair?
Stores offer prizes
Rigged from the outset
With no way to claim
Fortunes are lost
Lost on unfortunate gods of a ring toss that's fixed from the start
And breaks children's hearts
Carousels go around and up and down
Where horses rise and fall again and
Roll up roll up roll up...
Carousels go around and up and down
So rise merrily around
Wrapped up in plastic
Clasped in a child's fist
Last 'til forgotten
Spun out of control
