Ferris Wheels and Cotton Candy
Folks try to stall as the kids get antsy
They sit there complaining there's nothing else to do
So we pick up our coats and go down to the fair
Who knows what we'll find when we get there?
Eyes will be streaming, faces split in two
Carnies have come to town
If they stay will you hang around?
Lately where have you gone?
I've been waiting for so long
When will you come back?
Say what you want life's too good to be true
Jump-start me after I'm thru the sun-roof
Soon I'll be home but I don't know if you will too
