In the fairground Pretty Lisa's selling candy by the bar
Pretty Lisa's training hard to be a high wire star
Lisas life is just a journey upon a roundabout
Every thing is very pretty until the ride runs out
Dashing Tony is her trainer he's got straight white teeth
Lisa thinks that he's an angel but he's a pimp and he's a thief
Well, life is just a ride upon a roundabout
Pretty soon that ride is thrilling out
Tony has his pretty Lisa tattooed from head to toe
Now he's sitting in a booth with her in her freak-show
Tony hits his pretty Lisa but everything is fine
The tattooes hide the bruises every time
Yes the tattooes hide the bruises every time
