作曲：Elvis Costello

I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel

A pastel colored carriage in the air

I thought you'd leave me

dangling for a little while

A silly twist upon a childish dare

Below I saw you whispering to another man

Who held the lever that

could bring me down

He'd stop the world

from turning at your command

It's always something cruel

that laughter drowns

And I'm up while the dawn is breaking

Even though my heart is aching

I should be drinking a toast

to absent friends

Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music

from the carousel

The wind picks up the carriage starts sway

As one by one the lights go out

it's closing time

I see you take his hand

and walk away walk away

They say that you will always

be the last to know

They say that all that

glitters is not gold

It's not just that

you're never coming back to me

It's the bitter way that I was told

And I'm up while the dawn is breaking

Even though my heart is aching

I should be drinking a toast

to absent friends

Instead of these comedians
