Shiny

By the bumper cars
 In the pretty twining light
 I may have gone too far
 I may have gone too much, too long.
 I'm a dull and witless boy
 In the after-bars
 Think I was sullied by a dream
 In the killing jar
 You and me at war, at arms
 All falling in embrace
 Tell me why you lied
 And what it is you do to keep your eyes
 All shiny
 A tawny gypsy girl
 Sleeping blanketed by stars
 Beneath the tilt-a-whirl
 Where we were coyly caught alone
 All fumbling with your blouse
 Tell me why you lied
 And what it is you do to keep your eyes
 All shiny
 In the roller coaster din
 By the parachutes in saddle shoes you break your shin
 But I have never seen two eyes so shiny
 And the sullen beery swine
 Try to tangle you in sullen beery balls of twine
 Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny?
 The boys in denim vests
 Smoking cigarettes between
 Their bootblack fingertips
 Sweetly tipsy by the half-light
 The light and the half-light
 Tell me why you lied
 And what it is you do to keep your eyes
 All shiny
