Carousel! Carousel! Lyrics

When I look at the sky and blue goes grey

Well I don't let that stop me

I keep tipping my hat as beauties pass

And wispy wonders watch through the rafters



There's no need to be scared

They're watching over our exquisite black tie affair

Give me carousel, make me six, maybe seven

I'll watch them popping overhead

In the red rays of lazy days

We all laugh because that's how we're raised

Don't ask questions kids just laugh



And don't ask us

When you wonder why the sun burns

Or where the clocks learned

How to control rising falling

Bodies all the clouds clothe

I don't know where



Woke today, we all felt the same

Sleepy strange and sad

Where do we stand?

So ends the ball, we're all very small

Memories got blurred

Oh every word is gone



Now the ghosts have gone onto a different place

Oh every word is gone

Now the ghosts have gone, we grow a different face

Dead, wrong

Staring at four walls



The sun comes up it's a new day

And we're not laughing anymore, anymore

We found the fountain dry

Stop kidding ourselves

The way that we grow, and later we go



The sun comes up it's a new day

And we're not laughing
