The Night the Carousel Burned Down

Weren't you there when the carousel burnt down?

The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound

I swear you were there when the carousel burnt down

We were all aroundThe rings charred and tarnished all over the ground

And the heads hung down

And we all left town

The next dayThe children all cried when the carousel burnt down

The old ladies sighed as the carousel burnt down

The rest of us lied as the carousel burnt down

And the flames did flyThe pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye

As the boiler died

And they melted down

The midwayAnd we all left town the next day (x2)And we all left town the next day (x3)
