"The Fairground" lyrics

You said it might be scary
I bought a ticket and I rode it anyway
This ride is temporary
Like the teardrops on my birthday

I spent all of my money
And I threw up on my shoes
I'll still come back tomorrow
Though the chances are I'll lose

Take my hand, it's time to fly
'Cause you're born alone and you die alone
And in between, I'll see you at
The fairground

Kiss me as the merry-go-round goes round
Make sure it's what you wanted
Sometimes the mansion's haunted

Take my hand, it's time to fly
'Cause you're born alone and you die alone
And in between, I'll see you at
The fairground

Kiss me as the merry-go-round slows down
The fortune teller told me
You're the next big thing, baby

Take my hand, it's time to fly
'Cause you're born alone and you die alone
And in between, I'll see you at
The fairground
