round and round
carousel has got you under its spell.
moving so fast,
yet going nowhere.

up and down, ferris wheel.
tell me how does it feel.
to be so high,
looking down here.

did the clown make you smile?
he was only your fool for awhile.
now he's gone back home,
and left you wondering there.

somehow the lyrics speak to me so.
