Dear Diary - Divinyls

Dear diary I’m lonely

Won’t you send someone to hold me

Preston annual fair this room I share the market near

Dear diary I rode today

The ferris wheel carried me away

The jangling tune the dusty moon is it my turn soon

Dear diary I had a dream

A serpent came in a cloak of steam

He wraps me tight each coil a night my heart he bites

It’s been a while so much to say

It’s such a blur each long hot day

The ferris wheel man terrifies those violent eyes

The wheel the dust spins round too fast

The little lights like shattering glass

Is it a sickness and will it last he hands move fast

A nutty hole where the squirrels build

The fairground sky empty and chilled

The grass is white in squares and black where oil has spilled

These pages burn and the lonely learn

Why there still this memory please explain to me

And why people love so thoughtlessly dear diary

We all run after a dream in life

A heart is a lamb in a sacrifice

Did you ever expect such a struggle and strife

See how she runs
