lyrics

Well the're pulling up stakes down at the old fairground
loading painted horses from the merry go round
It's a ballet set to a calliope sound,
and I'm watching as the fair's rolling out of town

Well it's made of paint and money, blood and bones and sweat
and the trapeze girl does a pirouette
there's a light snow falling to the ground
and I'm watching as the fair's rolling out of town

Now I've got all this time that's come my way
and I've got nothing else to do today

Well I've got these wings but I'd trade 'em in
on a soul and some flesh I could put it in
or some arms to gently wrap you in
and I'm asking you is it such a sin
to desire these things that other men
might take for granted as they look around
and I'm watching as the fair's rolling out of town
and I'm watching as the fair's rolling out of town
