Tiger Lillies Fairgound

Lost my heart in the fairground the sad clown tries to smile
How quickly goes our innocence how swiftly were 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 its all about
Lost my heart in the fairground the sad clown tries to smile
How quickly goes our innocence how swiftly were defiled
