Carousel Songtext
von Ric Ocasek

Carousel up and down up and down
Silly clown there′s rain in your shoes
Spin around poison and pistols
They cut you down before you were through
Galleries sleek lines in motion
Like wishing wells all covered with dreams
Alleyways you can't seem to cover
They cut you off before you can scream
(But soon)
But soon you will find yourself
(Soon)
And soon you will sleep
(How)
And how can you hide yourself
From something so deep
From something so deep


(Soon you will sleep)
Filigree eighth avenue sideshow
What you see is falling around
All along they spike you with train fare
You know them all they hang up your flag
(Soon)
But soon you will find yourself
(Soon)
And soon you will sleep
And how can you hide youself
From something so deep
From something so deep
Up and down
Carousel up and down up and down
Silly clown there′s rain in your shoes
The End
