Fairground |
|
As the signs outside proclaimed, nature sometimes makes mistakes. |
|
Was it the mother or the father to blame, inside the damp grass and tilted tent? |

|
Won't you come with me to the fairground? |
|
Your head / will be spinning, |
|
I said your head / is your feet. |
|
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh |
|
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) |
|
at the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs. |
|
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) |
|
The man has come between us, his cheeks rattle like a fence, |
|
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) |
|
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh. |

(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!) |
|
I sought shelter from the storm in a small inn by the coast. |
|
In the children's room three identical sisters sat, |
|
except for the one who was hideously deformed; |
|
her grotesque features seemed to parody her sisters' beauty, |
|
ridiculing and mocking everything I held dear. |
|
Won't you come with me to the fairground? |
|
Your head / will be spinning, / I said your head / is your feet. |
|
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh |
|
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) |

|
The fish-eyed foetus floated blankly in the yellowed waters, still as wax. |
|
The man came between us, my sister and I, |
|
ridiculing and parodying everything we held dear, |
|
making a mockery of our former emotions. Dragging it all down to his level. |
|
Won't you come with me to the fairground? / Your head / will be spinning. |

|
And then we went for rides. |
|
[Jarvis:] Roll up, roll up, nice rides... |
|
Come on, spin those cars boys and make the girls scream! |
|
The louder you scream the faster we go! |
|
Come on, roll up, go on, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, |
|
for the ride of a lifetime. There's plenty of seats, come on, don't be shy! |
|
Roll up, come on, come on! |
|
[shreiking and wailing laughter] |
|
And then we went for rides. |
