The last night of the fair
|
By the big wheel generator
|
A boy is stabbed
|
And his money is grabbed
|
And the air hangs heavy like a dulling wine
|
|
She is Famous
|
She is Funny
|
An engagement ring
|
Doesn't mean a thing
|
To a mind consumed by brass (money)
|
|
|
And though I walk home alone
|
Though I walk home alone
|
My faith in love is still devout
|
|
|
The last night of the fair
|
From a seat on a whirling waltzer
|
Her skirt ascends for a watching eye
|
It's a hideous trait (on her mother's side)

|
|
|
And though I walk home alone
|
I might walk home alone ...
|
... But my faith in love is still devout
|
|
|
Then someone falls in love
|
And someone's beaten up
|
Someone's beaten up
|
And the senses being dulled are mine

|
|
This is the last night of the fair
|
And the grease in the hair
|
Of a speedway operator
|
Is all a tremulous heart requires
|
A schoolgirl is denied
|
She says : "How quickly would I die
|
If I jumped from the top of the parachutes ?"

So ... scratch my name on your arm with a fountain pen

(This means you really love me)
