Breadcrumb Trail (Original Alternate “Dry” Mixes from 1990)

I stepped out onto the midway

I was looking for the pirate ship when

I saw this small, old-like tent going up

It was blue and it had white lights hanging all around it

I decided to check out the tent

It seemed like I could hear music coming from inside

As I walked toward it, I passed a crowd of people at a 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 on 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

Then I thought about it for a minute

And asked her if she'd rather go on the roller coaster instead

Creeping up into the sky

Stopping at the top then starting down

The girl grabbed my hand

I clutched it tight

I said goodbye to the ground

Far below us all the men

A bucket of coins they can set aside

He watches the children run by

And cleans his teeth

Spinning round, my head began 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 wind

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 you could leave?

The sun was setting by the time we left

We walked across the deserted lot alone

We were tired but we each managed a smile

At the gate, I said goodnight to the fortune teller

The carnival sun threw colored shadows on her face

But I could tell she was blushing
