In the fairground Pretty Lisa's selling candy by the bar
Pretty Lisa's training hard to be a high-wire star

Lisa's life is just a journey upon a roundabout
Everything is very pretty until the ride runs out

Dashing Tony is her trainer he got straight white teeth
Lisa thinks that he is an angel, but he's a pimp and he's a thief

Well, life is just a ride upon a roundabout
But pretty soon, that ride it will run out

Tony has his pretty Lisa tattooed from head toe
Now he's sitting in a booth with her in the freak show

Tony hits his pretty Lisa but everything is fine
The tattoos they hide the bruises every time
