Open season on a broken heart This is the year they take the summer apart There is a magic to the carnival arts and i can hear the sound Is it the wind through the wonder wheel Is it the science of the way we feel Is it the silence of that old appeal will you be mine again? My love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight Waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk Follow the noise no one but me and the neighborhood boys Will remember where we were when this went down The ocean calls us like we've never been One hundred games that we will never win Close your eyes and hear the teacups spin as it begins to snow And if you're careful that's not all you'll hear The mermaids watch us steal a souvenir And whisper moral warnings in our ears as we are heading home My love, my love, are you on a winter beach tonight Waiting on a last chance rocket ride over the boardwalk Follow the noise no one but me and the neighborhood boys Will remember where we were when this went down So take a deeper breath let's hear you sing And reach your hand out for an iron ring You'll get another chance oh that's the thing we will be back again Cause summer comes around on any clock A wash with bathing suits and polka dots We'll ride the subways to their final stops to see the sea again
