Leaning On a Bear - Purson

All the swings and roundabouts

Have gone to join the fair

And they went there leaning on a bear

Look in all the magazines see

Their names are printed there

And the news is flying round the square

Champion tightrope walker cry the crowd

They don’t see this game is just a shroud

In the land of hopes and dreams

Children swarm like flies

All around the fountain of soft lies

Messages to kill or be killed

Tattooed on the back of their eyelids

In their sleep attack

Creeps back to his cave to watch the fight

They will take the bait like fish tonight

See the circus ringleader

He’s counting in his den

See him snacking on the souls of men

Creeps back to his cave to watch the fight

They will take the bait like fish tonight
