Carrousel

Horses go round and around and up and down

Horses, giraffes and elephants and clowns

Decked out, and decorated with jewels and paint

Nobody seems to care that they’re all fake

Smiles and laughter and music fill the air

Am I the only person who is aware

We’re going in circles around and around, around

We never get anywhere just going up and down

Stuck on a perpetual carrousel

Some think they’re in heaven, but for me it’s hell

Going round and around and around and around again

Suits go to meetings, fight traffic, get home at dawn

Work, play, eat, sleeping, the cycle goes on and on

Fast fleeting weekends spent getting the errands run

We’re always so busy, but nothing ever gets done

Not now, wait a minute, just as soon as I can

Obligations, excuses keep us going back round again

We’re going in circles around and around, around

We never get anywhere just going up and down

Stuck on a perpetual carrousel

Something they’re in heaven, but for me it’s hell

Going round and around and around and around again

I’m so tired and dizzy, and I feel motion sick

I can’t stop the ride, but I need to get off of it

Going around and around and around again

We never get anywhere, we all just play pretend

Around and around and around and around we spin

Around and around and around and around again
