Capri Son (The Carousel) Lyrics

The wedding was boring, I left disappointed,
I showed up with the smell of the remedy all anointed,
whisky and lemonade made my thoughts all numb,
I dance amidst a crowd of people I knew from when i was young.
But I can’t lie these days I don’t wanna talk no more
Conversations go in circles I don’t wanna talk no more.
Baby, it would be better for me just to take a cab
But I don’t have the energy to say goodbye.
I was fine in the car on the way with some jays and rest stops
I thought things change, I guess not
Rolling with you on the Carousel
Rolling with you on the Carousel
Rolling with you on the Carousel
The graduation party made me nervous
I was less educated than everybody there it’s worthless

to even try and speak with those people like pulling teeth with needles
I’m sorry I tried to please you, I’m sorry I tried to please you
I hope you’re a little mad when I’m there(?)
I hoped you were pissed off
Baby you felt bad…
I didn’t used to be this way, I don’t always remember being this way
I was fine in the car on the way with some jays and rest stops
I thought things change, I guess not
Rolling with you on the Carousel
Rolling with you on the Carousel
Rolling with you on the Carousel
My teacher met me by the moon by…
I asked her a few questions and she didn’t say a thing
Then she looked up at me, eyes swallowed me whole
Like an entire (??) staring into my soul
I could right a thousand page novel with all the extracted data
but I wanna save it for me or at least save it for later
What if god and the devil were best friends
And you’re standing in between deciding what to pretend
and the only thing keeping you from meeting at both ends
is the thought that you had to choose sides
And of the two sides, true sides, where you reside
Out of options, walk away, to me that sounds like suicide
In the line when you decide that they were just the two divided
is a really ludicrous suggestion, that’s the way we write it
I was fine in the car on the way with some jays and rest stops
I thought things change, I guess not
Rolling with you on the Carousel
Rolling with you on the Carousel
