By the bumper cars   In the pretty twining light   I may have gone too far   I may have gone too much, too long.   I'm a dull and witless boy      In the after-bars   Think I was sullied by a dream   In the killing jar   you and me at war, at arms, all falling in embrace      Tell me why you lied, and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny      A tawny gypsy girl   sleeping blanketed by stars   Beneath the tilt-a-whirl   where we were coyly caught alone   all fumbling with your blouse      Tell me why you lied, and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny      In the rollercoaster din   By the parachutes in saddle shoes you break your shin   But i have never seen two eyes so shiny      And the sullen beery swine,   try to tangle you in sullen beery balls of twine   Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny?      The boys in demin vests   smoking cigarettes between   their bootblack fingertips   sweetly tipsy be the half-light   the light and the half-light      Tell me why you lied and what it is you do to keep your eyes all shiny
