step right up! - the fire-eater's daughter lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the season scarcely started
there was call for labor setting up the carnival
two days out of secondary
found me first in line and waiting
with the other green help
for a grizzled veteran of three-score
looking down his crooked nose
at this year’s offerings
i bluffed my way inside
loquaciousness alone earning a post
inside the ten-in-one
where i was shortly stunned

[chorus 1]
by the fire-eater’s daughter
practicing her father’s deadly livelihood
she wraps her lips around the flame
a seraph dancing on the stage
and i am all undone
oh, jennilee!
to hear you speak my name
i’d sever ties to kith and kin
i am yours alone
we’ll take to the open road
this show my only home

[verse 2]
they called me roustabout and forty-miler
they bet i’d disappear once out of sight of town
but when the wagons made the jump
i swear i never looked back once
my eyes were fixed on you
i make my scratch inventing lectures
i am the favorite inside talker
for the sideshow crowd
so why does that silver tongue abandon me
my oratory talents nowhere to be found
whenever you’re around?

[chorus 2]
oh, lovely fire-eater’s daughter
practicing your father’s deadly livelihood
you wrap your lips around the flame
a seraph dancing on the stage
and i am all undone
sweet jennilee
to kiss that burning mouth
i would forget my very name
i am yours alone
we’ll take to the open road
this show my only home

[interlude]

[chorus 3]
oh, lovely fire-eater’s daughter
practicing your father’s deadly livelihood
you wrap your lips around the flame
a seraph dancing on the stage
and i am all undone
oh, jennilee!
to kiss that burning mouth
i would forget my very name
i am yours alone
we’ll take to the open road
this show my only home
