You clamber up and look behind
Their watchful eyes, the helping hands
A hen that's fierce and painted blue
With red eyes wants to swallow youA dragon dives and soars on tracks
The hands that strap you to it's back
You turned around and look behind
Their smiling eyes won't help you downTheir tiny hands, their tiny feet
Such little hearts to miss a beatGrotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled and taut a thousand yous
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those fun house thrillsThe paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh, painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for youIt's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirlIt's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirlIn sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it wellIn sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it wellCarousel
Carousel
