David Wilcox - SpinLyrics

Circus-boy, run-away, steely-eyed gypsy Seems to be adjusted to the clatter of the fair He says: "watch your step," as he tears two tickets briskly Watches her summer legs climb the stairs So you follow on, tip right in, latch the bar, lean to Feel the smooth touch of summer skin Then it all starts moving like no one else can see you Cupid pulls the lever, and the whole thing spins You had a shiny ride getting out of here We never heard a word when you disappeared Suddenly your lover just climbs right out Steps across thin air and leaves you there Try to catch your breath, but the bar is tight against your chest And the ride is spinning so hard it holds you in your chair Spin You had a shiny ride getting out of here We never heard a word when you disappeared Well, that shiny ride was just lies and skin To lead you on; pull you in Took you for a spin When it lets you out, you find it's many months later Deep into winter in a small-time town Walking kind of aimlessly, one hand on a railing You stop a while to wait until the spinning slows down 'Cause you had a shiny ride getting out of here We never heard a word when you disappeared Well, that shiny ride was just lies and skin To lead you on; pull you in Took you for a spin Come on and ride on a shiny new love Don't look behind; you can step right up Come on and ride on a shiny new love Don't look behind; you can step right up Took you for a spin
