The Only Couple In The Funfair
from My Slightly Grubby Heart by Once in a Moon
about
A cover of the experimental sheet-music-only single by the Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra.
lyrics
You pass through the night sky without a care
I careen round the carousels
'Cause we're the only couple in the funfair
And we've all the rides to ourselves
We will face the hall of mirrors and when we're done there
I'll ring the 'Test of Strength' bell if I can
We're the only couple in the funfair
And one of us, I think, is your man
We can huddle together and weather the storm
As thunder rolls under the noise of the machinery
But at fairgrounds things move to the foreground
And what once was is just a dream for me
I watch you on the whirling waltzer yonder
As my stalled ferris wheel chair's roughly blown
We're the only people in the funfair
And I've never felt so alone
I careen round the carousels
'Cause we're the only couple in the funfair
And we've all the rides to ourselves
We will face the hall of mirrors and when we're done there
I'll ring the 'Test of Strength' bell if I can
We're the only couple in the funfair
And one of us, I think, is your man
We can huddle together and weather the storm
As thunder rolls under the noise of the machinery
But at fairgrounds things move to the foreground
And what once was is just a dream for me
I watch you on the whirling waltzer yonder
As my stalled ferris wheel chair's roughly blown
We're the only people in the funfair
And I've never felt so alone
