歌词
Standing alone in the fairground at night
The world racing past on the streets
Only the stars and the headlights of cars
Light the fantasy world while it sleeps
And I looked around but there wasn't a sound
But the cinders under my feet
Candyfloss sticks spelled words on the ground
I tried to read them in vain
Before it was clear the wind blew my hair
And rephrased the sentence again
I stopped to light my last cigarette
The fair was lit up in its glow
I threw it away but the light seemed to stay
Like full moonlight shining on snow
And I hardly dare breathe, I just couldn't believe
Then the music started to flow
Slowly everything started to move
'Cept me and I stood quite still
Then came a soft cry near the coconut shy
"Who will you take me to ride on the wheel?"
And around and around the big wheel went spinning
Round and round until
I noticed although the fairground was moving
The rest of the world had stopped still
It was then when I realised I'd have to get off
Although I would have much rather stayed
Then with a jolt the wheel came to a halt
And the music started to fade
As the lights went dim my head started to spin
Told myself that I wasn't to blame
Looked at the ground, at the candyfloss sticks
Now the message was plain
Behind me the wheel and the fairground was still
And outside it was moving again
