lyrics

Carousel

Where is, where is my, my carousel?

Slide through the hole to a day not forgotten.
Mile’s to a pound’s not a price to pay.
It’s all for you, water just where you need it.
Reach out yourself, hand on a secret.

It’s playground smiles and watching the girls go by
on my carousel.
Dog in the puddle, nothing to take your time
on my carousel.

Tails on a circle, it makes you so dizzy.
Spiral staircase at least goes down.
Don’t follow arrows, they have no direction.
Find the beginning, go underground.

It’s playground smiles and watching the girls go by
on my carousel.
Dog in the puddle, nothing to take your time
on my carousel

‘cept go around and around.

Twelve years later I wait on the pavement.
Graffiti, exhaust and two parts of town.
Something happened I could not explain
now I’m stuck in line. Why so much pain?

It’s playground smiles and watching the girls go by
on my carousel.
Dog in the puddle, nothing to take your time
on my carousel

Where is, where is my, my carousel?
Where is, where is my, my carousel?

Where is, where is my, my carousel?
