Lyrics
A Dark Night In Toytown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Alone in the crowd
Beside the big wheel
You've run out of luck
I know the way you feel
A dark night in toytown
Round the carousel
If you want to ride faster
It's happiness I sell
If you can't find heaven
I'll show you a ghost train to hell
The pleasure principle
Is what I had in mind
I'll make you feel invincible
Then you'll be mine
A gorilla tranquiliser
Will help to slow you down
Monsters of the Id
Call from the underground
I know I seem sordid
Beneath you at first
I'll pierce your defences
Take away your thirst
I hold you gently
You gasp out loud
Blood on your white cheek
The fairground closes down
