lyrics

Well the fair left town last night
Tumbleweeds across the ground
And what a sight, the freak show packed up and left
Now it's gone

There once were spinning wheels and ferris wheels
And lions, ferocious
Now there's just a hole in the ground
Where the tent peg stood and that's all

Don't you pull the wool over my eyes
Another wolf in sheep's clothing
Saying what he oughta just to get on by
If you don't feel it, If you're not in it
Don't you do the things true lovers do
Cos while i'm thrilling for a minute
I sure as hell feel it
When the Fair's on the move

What sparkle was lost in my eyes
What softness was lost in my skin
The way the light stretched through my bedroom window so nice
How did it grow so dim

I got a habit, I gotta have it
Guess that's why I let them so easily in
Magic woman for a moment
then I'm me again

Don't you pull the wool over my eyes
Another wolf in sheep's clothing
Saying what he oughta just to get on by
If you don't feel it, If you're not in it
Don't you do the things true lovers do
Cos while i'm thrilling for a minute
I sure as hell feel it
When the Fair's on the move
