The little girl |
With unkept curls |
She rides the Ferris Wheel. |
Up, down and round |
The mem'ries pound |
She bleeds but cannot feel. |
"Let's all go |
To the County fair |
Where sunny girls |
And happy boys |
Can live |
Without a care" |
When taken out |
She'll never pout |
She rides the bumper cars. |
When at the Fair |
She knows to wear |
A smile atop the scars. |
She stands up straight |
Accepts her fate |
She rides the Tilt-A-Whirl. |
When in the town |
They all look down |
Abuse and anguish swirls. |
"Such a bad little girl |
Bend over my knee |
It's time to pay your fee. |
I'll get my kicks |
With forty licks |
And then you'll obey me!" |
A Daddy's girl |
When fists unfurl |
She ride's the Logger's Flume. |
All dressed in lace |
She'll find a place |
Inside a forgotten tomb. |
"Let's all go |
To the County Fair |
Where happy girls |
And sunny boys |
Can live |
Without a care" |
