about

"About 5 years ago, me and the girl I was dating at the time went to the McNay Museum to see an exhibit on Coney Island and all its history and splendor. Photography was strictly forbidden so I took notes, desperately trying to capture the sights and sounds that had been curated before me.
I took those notes and wrote this for my girlfriend in about 15 minutes. She dumped me not long afterwards."

lyrics

From Orion to The Beige
The 3rd Eye points the way
We can see the whole boardwalk from here
And Astroland’s stars
And the old bumper cars
I’m death when I can’t have you near

Well the Steeplechase clowns, they’re all falling down
I got enough dough to take you out for a while
And the circus tent’s glow
Lights the things we don’t know
I’ll wipe the tears as we smile

Well tonight tonight
Beacon Tower burns bright
And I pray to God it don’t rain
And the Cyclops’ Eye will raise Hell as we fly and I ask if you love me the same

Kiss me my dear, to make sure I’m awake
Aw the ten-in-one’s tussled your hair
And if it’s prizes you crave
I’ll go to my grave
At the all toss just to win you a bear

So I’ll dream of this place with a smile on my face
In the hopes that you’ll still be my girl
And if it ain’t so
You best let me know
And we’ll both go our own ways in this world

Well tonight tonight
Beacon Tower burns bright
And I pray to God it don’t rain
And the Cyclops’ Eye will raise Hell as we fly and I ask if you love me the same
