Brendan Bormes--Ferris Wheel, Acoustic

Roughish acoustic version by importunate first cousin. All comments welcome--positive, negative, blatantly hostile...
Lyrics!
westward, the dirty skyline
spills into sherbet twilight.
lend me your chilly forehead
way up atop the high-ride.

lately, i've felt something creeping,
the charmer has got me in sway.
lean close, i know you're sleepy,
the big wheel will have its way.

am i so caught up in you,
can't choke a breath up...
or is that the thin air?
and need i in speech continue,
or might i win you
if i won a stuffed bear?

eastward, the creaking seabirds
chorus with the boardwalk beneath us.
do you ever just want to leave here...
the cheap thrills and circus peanuts

lend me your chilly forehead,
all sodium chloride and caking facepaint.
the gypsy who warbles your fortune
sees we're no tourists,
we get a great rate.

someday, we'll slice the tethers,
we'll rend the metal
that's got us walled in.
but for now,
or for forever,
you'll wear my sweater,
i'll kiss your salt skin.

@Skkoz,

Thankyou, but I disagree. Cousin Brormio brings a unique and sensational quality to our musical endeavors

Keep up the good work Benguela

After listening to this, I took my guitar to the bathroom and simply stared at it and myself in the mirror for at least fourteen minutes. Then I preceded to scream at my reflection: "WHY YOU NO MAKE BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS LIKE YOUTUBE VIDEO, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME."
