Party Carny Style

from Trigger Warning by The Songs of Tom Smith

lyrics

The fairground empties out, come smoke a spliff with me
Stop the wheel up at the top, i got the only key
I saw a shooting star, I’m sure it could be you
We haven’t been that far, you could not refuse? “

CHORUS
When the show is over, there’s always one more ride
Come with me, party carny style

Bridge
Other ride jocks envy me
Keep the nuts all screwed in tight
Her engine’s greased and clean, let’s ride

I work the Gravitron.
Pins you up against the wall
Baby let’s get it on and ri- yiyiyide

Everyday the earth spins through, tons of cosmic dust
Babe I been watching you, eat your fairy floss
In the ghost train that was me, hit your boyfriend where it hurts
You got right off on it, I felt right through your skirt

CHORUS

Bridge
Give a fake name and ID
You can run but you can’t hide
But in Carnyland, we let it ride

Highway, bus and duffel bag
I got no material ties
Nothing in front of me but to ri-yiyiyide

The fairground empties out, come smoke a spliff with me
Stop the wheel up at the top, I got the only key
I saw a shooting star, I’m sure it could be you
We haven’t been that far, you could not refuse?
