Breadcrumb Trail

I stepped out onto the midway I was looking for the pirate ship and saw this small, old white tent at one end It was blue and had white lights hanging all around it I decided to check out the tent, it seemed like I could hear music coming from inside As I walked toward it, I passed a crowd of people at the sideshow I couldn't figure out why they would want to wait in line I pulled back the drape thing on the tent There was a crystal ball at the table, and behind it, a girl wearing a hat She smiled, and asked me if I wanted my fortune read I said, "Okay" and sat down Then I thought about it for a minute And asked her if she would rather go on the roller coaster instead Creeping up into the sky Stopping at the top, and then starting down The girl grabbed my hand, I clutched it tight I said goodbye to the ground Far below, a soiled man A bucket of torn tickets at his side He watches the children run by And cleans his teeth Spinning round, my head began to turn I shouted, and searched the sky for a friend I heard the fortune-teller, screaming back at me We stuck out our hands and met the wind The girl falters as she steps down from the platform She clutches her stomach, and begins to heave The ticket-taker smiles, and the last car is ready "Who told you that you could leave?" The sun was setting by the time we left We walked across the deserted lot, alone We were tired, but we managed to smile At the gate, I said goodnight to the fortune-teller The carnival sign threw colored shadows on her face, but I could tell she was blushing
