Tilt-a-whirl Lyrics - Singles - Slobberbone

Have you ever been drivin' home late at night 

You found yourself enraptured by a captivatin' site? 

The mystical allure of blinkin', twinklin', twirly lights 

Shinin' in your baby's eyes, can seem so right 

And that girl, she makes you stop, in that Wal-Mart parkin' lot 

The smell of sweaty people on the summer's air so hot 

And you buy a roll of tickets at fifty cents a pop 

And you're thinkin' that it's gonna be cool 

But I'm tellin' you that it's not, no 

'Cause looks can be deceivin', if you know what I mean 

A shiny patch of happiness may not be what it seems 

I learned that lesson long ago, much to my chagrin 

But not before the whole damn thing came crashin' to an end 

And it looked so cool, and looked so fun, I thought 

The picture-perfect perch from which to get me some the top 

But the wheel, it was junk and that carny, he was drunk 

And they sent my baby flyin' across the parkin' lot 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Took my happiness away from me 

And it put me in traction, it's the Devil's contraption 

It's the bane of my existence, fellas, listen to me 

It's no mechanical cupid, don't be stupid 

No matter how she begs and whines, don't listen to that girl 

If you know how to handle her, you'll ride the Scrambler 

But keep away from that Tilt-A-Whirl 

Now, looks can be deceivin', if you know what I mean 

A shiny patch of happiness may not be what it seems 

I learned that lesson long ago, much to my chagrin 

But not before the whole damn thing came crashin' to an end 

And it looked so cool, looked so fun, I thought 

The picture-perfect perch from which to get me some the top 

But that wheel, it was junk and that carny, he was drunk 

And he sent my baby flyin' across the parkin' lot 

Tilt-A-Whirl, you took my girl 

Took my happiness away from me 

And it put me in traction, it's the Devil's contraption 

It's the bane of my existence, fellas, listen to me 

It's no mechanical cupid, don't be stupid 

No matter how she begs and whines, don't listen to that girl 

If you know how to handle her, you'll ride the Scrambler 

But keep away from that Tilt-A-Whirl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl 

Tilt-A-Whirl, it took my girl
