lirik lagu midway fair - fireworks at the carnival
we call the crier saturday, cause it’s the only day she’s here
just seventeen and a voice like a cannon and the gypsies pay her in beer
everyone but the one-ton man falls in love with her every week
oh, those just-out-of-reach games are always too hard to beat
and jimmy he runs the coin toss, spins roulette when he’s short on cash. three weeks here since he turned sixteen and he’s already dying
he’s falling fast — jimmy, we’ve all seen the signs
[chorus]
and these rocket lights
just split the night, saturday
and they cascade like sun rays
on the midway
they oughta turn out these lights
in the city on these autumn nights
and let the carnival fireworks
turn the dusk into day
“hey pretty girl, take a shot,” jimmy says, “the first three throws are free.”
and we’re all waiting for the line she’s got about the gypsy boys and the freaks
“leave her be, kid,” we’ve all told him before, but jimmy’s a soft heart at heart. he’s got a red cotton clown and a pinwheel down that spins like a catherine wheel
one of the gypsy boys rolls his eyes and says he can’t believe the kid’d do that. but she just says she gets off at ten, when they send up the rocket waterfall
hope you’re lucky, kid. she’s gonna make you the human cannonball
[chorus]
and these rocket lights
just split the night, saturday
and they cascade like sun rays
on the midway
they oughta turn out these lights
in the city on these autumn nights
and let the carnival fireworks
turn the dusk into day
he takes her up on the wheel for a ride and steals a caramel apple kiss. “don’t break his heart, saturday,” we’re all praying tonight for the kid
it’s like watching the coal walker chasing the tightrope girl. he’ll always get just this close before she’ll shake the rope and he’ll slip
and the ferris wheel is going too fast again, it’s gonna hurl them into the sky. but the cannonball kid is holding her hand when they’re thrown
she’s going with him. he’s not leaving the midway alone!
[chorus]
and these rocket lights
just split the night, saturday
and they cascade like sun rays
on the midway
they oughta turn out these lights
in the city on these autumn nights
and let the carnival fireworks
turn the dusk into day
