paul shapera - tour our grounds lyrics

floozies:
we gettin dolled up here raven baby
we dustin on off all the fun time gin
the night is poised and its salivatin’
the carousel is cranked and is 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 its all set up all down the line

raven:
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 won’t 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

floozies:
take the tour and ride the rides
what sweet thrills we have inside
where the unchained laughs reside
what sweet sounds and such strange sights
and the show goes on all night
all you want awaits inside

raven:
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 can’t speak
if they solve it they would end up here
we ‘re the answer that they seek

floozies:
take the tour and ride the rides
what sweet thrills we have inside
where the unchained laughs reside
what sweet sounds and such strange sights
and the show goes on all night
all you want awaits inside

………

raven:
all who come are welcome
you may feast on every vice
and i saw what you did back there
set the narrative on fire

youre 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 we 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 ben messing with your lives
dont think i haven’t noticed
they’ve been studying llyod for quite some time

yeah, a few of these fair tricks
i certainly know well enough

helen:
wait, who’s lloyd?

raven:
(sighs), the only man i ever truly loved
