Carousel

Round and round 

In circles we go 

This world is a carousel 

You know

Chasing love 

Fortune and fame 

Peace on Earth 

I'm sure that's why you came

Chasing chasing 

Always behind 

Stuck at a distance 

Let's pick up the pace

Come to me my 

Carousel horse 

Gilded with gold and covered in ribbons 

Smiling back flashing 

Those pearly white teeth

Chasing chasing 

It's like a dream 

But we're glued to the floors 

Just out of reach

Smiling smiling 

I bet my heart 

Just one last turn, I thought

Pushing the silver disc 

Through the slot

Laughing laughing 

Take advantage of my ignorance 

Arrogance 

My hope

I'm naive, I know

Round and round 

In circles we go

This world 

This world is a carousel 

You know

When will it ever stop?
