Paul Shapera - Tour Our Grounds lyrics

Artist: Paul Shapera

album: Uncle Raven's Super Happy Funtime Carnival


We're gettin' dolled up here, Raven baby
We're dustin' on off all the funtime gin
The night is poised and it's salivatin'
The carousel is cranked and it's set to spin
They gettin' riled up here, Raven baby
The midway's bein' lit like good old times
The bally's bein' blared by the barker
Baby, it's all set up all down the line
We've got this woman with a tumor
That thing's bigger than her head
They say it laughs and loves to drink
And even smokes in bed
They say it swears like a sailor
They say she wants to die
They say the tumor wont let her
It makes her stay alive
There's freaks and geeks aplenty
With souls that're so grotesque
They'd make the timid vomit
And that just you in the mirror, my friend
We've got many here in transition to some kind of animal
But truth?
I'll tell you a little secret
The only freak show here is you
Take the tour and ride the rides
What sweet thrills we have inside
Where the unchained laughs reside
Such sweet sounds and such strange sights
And the show goes on all night
All you want awaits inside
Over there we have a mermaid
Who in a tank of vodka stays
In that tent the clowns will pay you a magic coin
To let them have their way
We've tents containing mazes
And mazes made of tents
We build them out of discarded dreams
That folks here in their old lives left
See, theres those with thirsts and hungers
That mundane life cannot fill
So they search inside a bottle
Or try to find it in a pill
But the solution's like a piece of math
An equation they cant speak
If they solve it, they would end up here
We're the answer that they seek
Take the tour and ride the rides
What sweet thrills we have inside
Where the unchained laughs reside
Such sweet sounds and such strange sights
And the show goes on all night
All you want awaits inside
Take the tour and ride the rides
What sweet thrills we have inside
Where the unchained laughs reside
Such sweet sounds and such strange sights
And the show goes on all night
All you want awaits inside
All who come are welcome
You may feast on every vice
And I saw what you did back there
Set the narrative on fire
You're so confused, my darlings
They really did a number on your minds
You know, you're not in the real world
You've left that long behind
You've heard of the collective unconscious?
Well, that's where you are now
You and I are trapped here
And yes, your whole fake town as well
But we both know they're coming
Coming for you, and when they do
There'll be a door that's open
And that's our ticket through
These little nasty computers
Who've been messing with your lives
Well, don't think I haven't noticed
They've been studying Lloyd for quite some time
Ah, a few of these fair tricks I certainly know well enough
Wait, who's Lloyd?
The only man I ever truly loved
