Lyrics

Carousel

My life is a circus
Hold on for all I bring with me
You make me nervous
Take my sincere apology

For all of my oddities
My recurring comedies
I know I'm on a

Carousel spinning around, floating up and down
Nowhere to go, will you break the spell?
Tether me to your ground
Such a spectacle, you signed up for one hell of a one-man show
Tangled in ribbons, a lifelong role
Aren't you sorry that you fell, onto this carousel?

The city of acrobats of clowns and illusory traps with me
Was losing its wonder
I thought I would go under, 'til we met

I'm waiting for you to see
The things that are wrong with me
Before you're on my

Carousel spinning around, floating up and down
Nowhere to go, 'til you break the spell?
Tether me to your ground
Such a spectacle, you signed up for one hell of a one-man show
Tangled in ribbons, a lifelong role
Aren't you sorry that you fell onto this carousel?
