The Decemberists - Shiny lyrics

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 At the after bars Think I was sullied by a dream In the k**ing 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 And in the rollercoaster din By the parachutes in saddle shoes You break your shins But I have never seen two eyes so shiny And the sullen beery swine Who try to tangle you In sullen beery balls of twine Have they ever seen two eyes so shiny? Boys in denim vests Smoking cigarettes between The 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
