every other car of the F train is engulfed in flame but it's pulling on outta west 4th street station, just the same step on in, step lively and watch the closing doors we're gonna ride this burner all the way down to coney island's golden shores we'll ride the roller coaster it's made outta bones and mud we'll play the little game where you shoot the ducks tonight we're out for blood we'll go down under the boardwalk no telling what we'll find down in coney island babe a coney island of the mind we'll head on over to the side show and see the woman with a hundred toes the two headed fish and the elastic man who hammers nails into his nose exotic dancers from cleveland and curiosities of every kind down in coney island babe a coney island of the mind with ferris wheels spinning in all their eyes a million souls with a quarter to spend wander through this half-dreamt place from the past to the present and back again we're just two more fools who never wanna go back home and have to face what we left behind down in coney island babe a coney island of the mind then in the midst of the sickening swirl at the height of the cheapest thrill there's a blink just a second of silence when everything goes dark and still then a million colored flashing lights bright enough to strike you blind illuminates the desperation at the heart of this coney island of the mind and now the dead cold winter surrounds this place the roller coaster's covered with snow the midgets and dancers have all gone home we're the only ones left at the freak show the ferris wheel has rolled away it's pitch black where the lights once shined all we got is each other babe and a coney island of the mind Copyright Samm Bennett - all rights reserved back to Lyrics Table of Contents |
