- Standing alone in the fairground at night
The world racing past on the streets Only the stars and the headlights of cars Light the fantasy world while it sleeps And I looked around but there wasn't a sound But the cinders under my feet. Candy-floss sticks spelt words on the ground I tried to read them in vain. Before it was clear the wind blew my hair And rephrased the sentence again. I stopped to light my last cigarette The fair was lit up in its glow I threw it away but the light seemed to stay Like 'twere moonlight shining on snow. And I hardly dare breathe I just couldn't believe Then the music started to flow. Slowly everything started to move 'Cept me and I stood quite still. Then came a soft cry near the coconut shy Will you take me to ride on the wind. And around and around The big wheel went spinning Round and round until I noticed although the fairground was moving The rest of the world stopped still. It was then when I realised that I'd have to get off Although I would've much rather stayed. Then with a jolt the wheel came to a halt And the music started to fade. As the lights went dim my head started to spin Told myself that I wasn't to blame. Looked at the ground at the candy-floss sticks Now the message was plain Behind me the wheel and the fairground were still And outside it was moving again.
