Slint - Breadcrumb Trail текст песни

I stepped out onto the midway I was looking for the pirate
Ship and saw this small, old tent at one end It was blue,
And had white lights hanging all around it I decided to check
Out the tent, it seemed I could hear music coming from inside
As I walked toward it, I passed a crowd of people at the sideshow
I couldn't figure out why they would want to wait in line I
Pulled back the drape thing on the tent There was a crystal
Ball at the table, and behind it, a girl wearing a hat She
Smiled, and asked me if I wanted my fortune read I said okay,
And sat down I thought about it for a minute, and asked her
If she would rather go on the roller coaster instead

Creeping up into the sky Stopping, at the top and,
Starting down The girl grabbed my hand, I clutched it
Tight I said good-bye to the ground

Far below, a soiled man A bucket of torn tickets at his side
He watches as the children run by And picks his teeth Spinning
'Round, my head begins to turn I shouted, and searched the sky
For a friend I heard the fortune teller, screaming back at me
We stuck out our hands, and met the winds

The girl falters as she steps down from the platform She
Clutches her stomach, and begins to heave The ticket-taker
Smiles, and the last car is ready Who told you that you
Could leave?

The sun was setting by the time we left We walked across
The deserted lot, alone We were tired, but we managed to smile
And the gate I said goodnight to the fortune teller The
Carnival sign threw colored shadows on her face, but I could
Tell she was blushing
