Lyrics for A Dark Night In Toytown

Alone in the crowd Beside the big wheel You've run out of luck I know the way you feel A dark night in toytown Round the carousel If you want to ride faster It's happiness I sell If you can't find heaven I'll show you a ghost train to hell The pleasure principle Is what I had in mind I'll make you feel invincible Then you'll be mine A gorilla tranquiliser Will help to slow you down Monsters of the Id Call from the underground I know I seem sordid Beneath you at first I'll pierce your defences Take away your thirst I hold you gently You gasp out loud Blood on your white cheek The fairground closes down
