karaoke
1977 I arrived a heavenly present
The old man didnt want me
Five boys before me five mouths to feed
No sleep stressed out
I guess the old boy changed
Instead of giving me up
He done gave me his name
David J little Day
They use to call me Baby Day
But my brother couldn't say it
So they called me Bayday
Hand me downs and beat downs, what...
Lippy little mother fucker gettin' tossed around
Lost and found childhood
I'm only learnin' now,
Life is like a carousel the way it turn around
[Chorus]
Seems like a tail that I long to tell,
Jutebox quarter from the wishing well,
These are the days that I know so well,
Life keep turnin' like a carousel,
Yesterday has past me
I must let it go,
Be the lonely poet they call Kyprios
Yo, You remember when we use to play,
Hide and go seek,ya, and nicky nicky nine doors, hell ya,
We'd just like bang on the door and run the fuck out
Livin' weeks for the weekend,
Sneakin' out to meet friends,
Snowy day was holiday,
Fought with my pops so I had to run away,
A natural, sabadical, man I mean an actual,
Dramatic adic escape, now aint that radical,
Coz thats the way we use to talk,
Had a skate board so I never had to walk,
Tony Hawk with the grip tape,
And if that break, what a day, such a great mistake to have made,
Cus pops was the guy who had paid, sorry pop
[Chorus]
Seems like a tail that I long to tell,
Jutebox quarter from the wishing well,
These are the days that I know so well,
Life keep turnin' like a carousel,
Yesterday has past me
I must let it go,
Be the lonely poet they call Kyprios
Life is short with the complex,
No map and no compass,
Lifes a bitch givin' bad sex,
She'll fuck you if she can and I'm only being honest,
See I've seen a turn around,
Of the carousel,
Had the bridge and burned it down,
Life is not a fairy tale,
How very well I know,
How rich can turn to poor,
I use to have money,
I don't have it any more,
Just an optimistic pesimist,
Glass half empty but its full of bliss,
Use to be half full of piss and pestulence,
Now I learned that ever of a ways a search for happiness,
[Chorus]
Seems like a tail that I long to tell,
Jutebox quarter from the wishing well,
These are the days that I know so well,
Life keep turnin' like a carousel,
Life keep turnin' like a carousel,
Life keep turnin' like a carousel,
Yes the day has past me I must let it go,
There she goes again
Off to ride the carousel
Off to gather kind words and compliments
In a very short dress
In a very short dress
Leftovers and lovers
Consumed before the light
Every one looks pretty
As long as there is night
Losing coats and hats in lovers? cars
You?re losing friends
You don?t know who they are
Climbing ladders that don?t interest you
Chasing rabbits, well, you always do
Tie your tiger to an old tree root
You?re sticking pins inside your soldier?s boots
Want everything, everything, everything
Everything, everything
Leftovers and lovers
Consumed before the light
Every one looks pretty
Groove it up, it's Friday night.
Time to have some fun, alright.
To know what's up. I gotta reach n' pick up the phone.
Yeah the answer's always Mick
my favorite band's having a gig.
What could be better idea, than to go to the club.
Listen to me boy you have to be 18 to get inside!
n' there will be no talk about exceptions this time.
Damn, That I wanna see this band.
I'll be good, I understand,
this is a moment of my life, that I can't let go.
I'm steeling in, it always works.
Yeah I know how to bluff those jerks.
I can't hide my wide smile, when I think of his words.
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 you
A dragon dives and soars on tracks
The hands that strap you to its back
You turn around and look behind
Their smiling eyes
Won't help you down
Their tiny hands
Their tiny feet
Such little hearts
To miss a beat
Grotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled and taut a thousand yous
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those funhouse thrills
The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for you
Its motor whirrs and colours curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
Its motor whirrs and colours curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it well
Carousel
A carnival for the human race
Cotton candy, happy face
A child talking with his mouth full
Girlfriend gets stuffed animal
A festive mood is all around
Another world is what we've found
Step right up, let's make a deal
Let's ride on the ferris wheel
You know there's something lurking underneath the shape
With a mask over it's head and makeup on his face
Will Warner Bros. put our record on the shelve?
Take a look in the mirror and see the clown in yourself
Spinning
Grinning
Believing
Deceiving
Whirling
Twirling
Confusing
Amusing
Discovery
Recovery
Inherency
Transparency
Fusion
Conclusion
Reality
Fatality
If you want to know what's behind the show
You ride my carousel and enter life's jail cell
Love and blood begin to meld, you've lost the self that you once held
Merry go round your head - awake, asleep, alive, or dead.
The clown that painted a smile on you
Is now the one unmasking you
Animated scenes unwind
Dormant figures come to life
Entangled in your own web
A twisted tunnel overhead
A glimpse of light, a drop of dew
You slide into the swimming pool
A roller coaster ride into the rivers of your mind
The currents merge, your feelings surge, your life's a pantomime
Beauty is the spiral going round & round the beast
Without the vampire effect the carnival is deceased
Fun.
Roly Poly
Topsy turvy
Hang upside down
Fall to the ground
I think I'm going to be sick
in this world of make believe
my eyes see what I want
to see
I'm blinded with the
simple lies
so easily I justify
the sin that comes
so naturally
is this all that I'll ever be
bring this madness to an end
don't let this cycle start again
it's got me spinning 'round
and I can hardly tell
which way is up or down
on my sin carousel
it's got me out of control
and I want to jump off
somebody stop this ride
I think I've had enough
spinning 'round up and down
but I know it's alright
move ahead falling leave it behind
seems I've been here before
so familiar I can tell
need your help to get off
of my sin carousel
it's suffice to say I move
because of your great fortitude
so unstable are my feet
they love to make a fool
of me
afraid to fall I feel corrupt
and as I drop you pick
me up
take me were I've
never been
River side, river run
I take my tea at one
With coffee and some cigarettes
I watch you dare out the sun
I rule this town with poisoned wells
But with lovers running parallel
Angel dust I'm all mixed up
I think I'm running towards the carousel
Sweetened like a sweetened cherry
Bury me beneath the hills
Whispering with their bare trees
I will array my conspiracy
I'll wash away all the dirty
Scorch it on a blue heart flame
Settle under a riverbed
Never to come back again
I dig a hole, I dig a well
I try to save me from myself
I think I could I think I will
I think I'm running towards a carousel
Go to sleep now and dream of him close
While the sky turns from blacker to red
When you wake in the morning he will be gone
And leave you dreaming him close
For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
Cause you know time will break and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run
It's hard to know what's good for you
You know she'll let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
It's never too late to change the pace
When days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
Cause it's following you
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Ooh, Oooh, Oooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,ooh, oooh
Thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Casting long lasting spells never unearthed
Thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Dancing down, dancing spells never unearthed, unearthed
Oooh
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Until the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend
And time won't wait, so don't be late
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries,
her secret diguise behing the lies,
and at night she crys away her pride
with eyes shut tight staring at her inside,
all her friends know why she can't sleep at night
all her family asks if shes alright, all she wants to do is get rid of this hell,
well all shes gotta do is stop kidd'in herself,
she can only fool herself for so long
she can only fool herself for so long
she can only fool herself for so long
(are you too weak to face me)
she can only fool herself
[chorus]: i never know, just why you run, so far away, far away from me[x2]
When it comes to how to live his life it can't be told
thinkinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with,
but in reality it would be a problem to just quit,
an addict, and he can't hold the reins, the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same,
trys to slow down the problem he's got, but can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
he can only fool himself for so long[x3]
(are you too weak to face me)
he can only fool himself
[chorus] [x2]
fly away with the wings i gave you
come to me, and then i'll save you{[x2]}
[chorus] [x2]
She Came To Me
Whilst Times Were Low
And Smiled at Me
Through Eyes of Stone
We Danced And Laughed
It's All So Cold
Like Wingless Insects
Born To Crawl
We Climbed in Vain
Destined To Fall
Into Graves
A Broken Soul
Now Nothing's Left
Except My Hate
Of Which I Leave
We went to a carnival
And we took a ride on a carousel
You went up and I went down
And the world went spinning round
Those endless summer days
They seem so far away
It seems so long ago
Since you came out to play
We went to a carnival
And we took a ride on a carousel
You went up and I went down
And the world went spinning round
Now the playground's empty
The crowds have gone away
The gates are locked up tight
And rain is here to stay
We went to a carnival
And we took a ride on a carousel
You went up and I went down
And the world went spinning round
Now just the other day
I thought I heard the music play
And now my life has changed
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 you
A dragon dives and soars on tracks
The hands that strap you to its back
You turn around and look behind
Their smiling eyes
Won't help you down
Their tiny hands
Their tiny feet
Such little hearts
To miss a beat
Grotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled and taut a thousand yous
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those funhouse thrills The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for you
Its motor whirrs and colours curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
Its motor whirrs and colours curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it well
Carousel
There are days that take too long
It's those days I wish I had you right here in my arms
I'm gettin' lonely, I'm sick waiting here for you
I'm gettin' lonely, please come home cause I want to be with you, or maybe I'm a fool
Baby you still drive me crazy
Nothings gonna change me so you don't have to cry
Maybe I should take the blame
I guess a music man is no shelter from the rain
Baby you still drive me crazy
Nothings gonna change me so you don't have to cry
Baby you know that you saved me
Your loves so amazing you're never off my mind
Nothings going on, I've been gone for way to long
I'll be right back in your arms, don't be afraid
I'm getting closer, I'm making my way back home to you
I'm getting closer, I can see your face and the light keeps shining through, and baby what am I to do, oh?
Nothings going on I've been gone for way to long
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel
Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die
Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?
I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone
Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile
A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?
I guess its just another
I guess its just another
Almost home
When I missed the bottom stair
You were braiding your gray hair
It had grown so long
Since I'd been gone
And the perfect girls
By the pool, they would protest
The cross around their necks
But our sons were overseas
And we all know about the hive and the honey bees
Almost home
With an olive branch and a dove
You were beating on a Persian rug
With your bible and your wedding band
Both hidden on a TV stand
And the cruel wind blew
Every city father fell
Off the county carousel
While the dogs were eating snow
All our sons had sunk in a trunk of Noah's clothes
Almost home
We got lost on our new street
While your grieving girls all died in their sleep
So the dogs all went unfed
A great dream of bones all piled on the bed
And the cops couldn't care
When that crackhead built a boat
And said, "Please, before I go
May our only honored bone
Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Fortune-tellers in glass cases
We will always remember these
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'till you can't see
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
And now we go around
Again we go around
And now we spin around
We're high above the ground
And down again around
And up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
We're on a ferris wheel
A crazy ferris wheel
A wheel within a wheel
And suddenly we feel
The stars begin to reel
And down again around
And up again around
And up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Crazy clowns chasing brass rings
Soda pop and rock-candy trees
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'till you can't see
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
And now we go around

Tricky shell games and missing peas

A crazy carousel
La, la, la, la - la, la, la, la
La, la, la - la, la, la, la, la - la!
The world's like a big carousel
turning in space with the whole human race hanging on
but the sounds that are played on that penny arcade
turn me on
Then I need a little romance
if you play me that song
then you'll get me to dance
I can dance
sing me a slow song and maybe then I'll take a chance
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhereOh I need some loving tonight
someone to hold me and make me feel alright tonight
and I can't explain why the whole human race
wants to fight
For the world is a beautiful place
so small but it's all that we have to stand on
you and I
so won't you join me on my carousel in the sky
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
"Oh what a ride... I can't believe it...
Felt so free... inside...
A new beginning? Dare I believe it?
My friends advise me to step inside..."
She's trapped inside a carousel
That will spin her 'round and force her right towards the end
She's in for the ride of her lifetime
Sadly nothing could ever make her turn while there's still time
(Headed for the sky, never asking why)
Never looking back she just craves for more and more
(Finding peace of mind with those of her kind)
Dancing with the souls that she thought she would never find
"Why should I care to look into the rear view mirror
When all that view has to offer me is misery?
I've come so far, I've feel so free
I've been offered a sip of life without the bitter taste of pain"
"My reality is flying through the air of my dreams
Dreams where I am the alpha and the omega"
"Stepped into a carousel
To lift me up and bring me closer to the stars
I'm in for the ride of my lifetime
Nothing could ever force me back to the ground"
"(Headed for the sky, giving up past life)
I'm never going back to the hell I called my life
(Finding peace of mind with those of her kind)
'Cause now I'm dancing with the friends that I though I would never find"
"Let me go now, let me leave your life
Let me feel free, let me see with own eyes
I will never be the one you'll love
See her walking alone
In this city of heartache and stone
She finds her way down to
Where she once found all her dreams
She doesn't understand why
Something she'd given her
Heart to could die
But that's just the way it works out
They say it's alright
She's coming back down
This carousel ride has stopped spinning round
She wants to say she's sorry and stay
But it's too late now
This carousel ride has shut down
Fingertips trace the lines
Pens and papers recall the good times
But clocks they do run
And change what's been done say goodbye
She's coming back down
This carousel ride has stopped spinning round
She wants to say she's sorry and stay
But it's too late now
This carousel ride has shut down
And I want you to come
With me tonight
I don't know if it's real
But it surely feels right
She's coming back down
This carousel ride has stopped spinning round
She wants to say she's sorry and stay
But it's too late now
She's coming back down
This carousel ride has stopped spinning round
She wants to say she's sorry and stay
But it's too late now
This carousel ride has shut down
She's from a world
Of popcorn and candy
Pony rides for a dime
Little children laughing
I'm from a world
Of disappointments and confusions
But I want her to be mine
I started talking
She kept on walking
She disappeared into the crowd, oh
I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away
Two different people in love for an instant
They say that the circus came today
Sometimes I can hear the calliope
And I can hear her calling me
(I lost my heart)
Lost my heart
(On the carousel)
Lost my girl
(To a circus girl)
Who ran away
I lost
(Lost my heart)
I lost my girl
(On the carousel)
You Ready
We're gonna take you on a ride
For 2 triple O
Hang on here we go
We're gonna send you on a carousel
Smoothin' like a bad boy,
I'm not a hussler
But I'll play it if you call me that
Soft like the lotion
That I rub right on your back
(That I rub right on your back)
I feel I should sing
My eyes can't complain
When the set becomes clear of you
Just like a ride, hope on and try
Let me take you
Take you on all around like a carousel
Never gonna run away, make you go down
I'll hold you tight, I'll be with you tonight
I'll never let you fall unless I fall in love with you
So now you took a ride, come on get in line
Go around for the second time
I'm the one for you, let me show you what I'll do
I'm gonna make your heart one two
I used to sit and worry all day
Work my job and get my pay
When my mind was goin a stray
Hopin' i could get to go play
I see ya girls lookin so fine
With the hopes of makin her mind
Baby girl just give me a sign
Tell me I'm a waste of my time
Because I wanna kick it with you,
All the things a lover could do
Ain't no lie with tellin the true
If your old i'll make you feel new
Cause girl you got me under your self
It ain't hard it's easy to tell
Like my rhyme will do you quite well
I can’t wait to see the morning sky
Everything quiet and all dark inside,
Walking steadily down a flight of stairs,
Follow the sign that tells me I should be there.
Carousel, turns makes me dizzy,
Carousel, I’m feeling weak,
Carousel, just one more ditty,
Till I fall off into my sleep.
Tired people scattered everywhere,
Look all around to see what should be there,
Take me back to where we used to play,
Back to where we used to play the other day.
Carousel, turns makes me dizzy,
Carousel, I’m feeling weak,
Carousel, just one more ditty,
Till I fall off into my sleep.
Drop all my coins into the waterside,
Can’t remember what it was I had to find,
Tread along a path that isn’t clear,
At the end the morning will appear.
Carousel, turns makes me dizzy,
Carousel, I’m feeling weak,
Carousel, just one more ditty,
We saw the wonderworld
Of all the wild wild horses
Flying around
Like an eagle in the sky
But we had been told
Of the danger of burning roses
Longing for you
And they're never asking why
Don't touch the flame
Run through the fire
Calling your name
We're flying higher
To the edge of the world
Carousel
Of broken dreams
Turning around in a circle
Carousel
You know what it means
Making a fool out of me
Far out in the distance
There was a place we once called home
Lost forever
Filled with emptiness and moan
The rising force of evil
Broke the chains of destination
Hard to believe
One more time around, I can't stop this carousel
I've tried so long to no avail
I've tried each horse on here, still no new scenery
I'm dizzy, my stomach's sick, and I'm tired
This I know, horses gold, won't take me home
Each horse here is painted so pretty
Lifeless beauties that orbit neatly
I see you go flying by, I've worn my heels down
On this game of tug-o-war I'm loosing
The show’s in full swing,
So drop you’re fucking things, stop spinning,
Nicotine stains on our brains,
It’s all the same,
White trash machines,
Dirty fiends with silent screams,
Carnie fucking superstars,
We are what you are,
We’re a freak show,
Where to go? We don’t know,
Round and round and round we go!
Carousel,
Spinning ‘til you go insane,
Carousel,
This world will melt your brain,
Carousel,
Decadent spirals
And multi-coloured labels
Everything’s a blur,
Speeding up ‘til it takes you under,
Apathy is everything,
But still I sing,
Welcome to the carousel,
It’s a living hell,
We’re a freak show,
Where to go? We don’t know,
Round and round and round we go!
Carousel,
Spinning ‘til you go insane,
Carousel,
This world will melt your brain,
Carousel,
Life is a carousel my dear,
It keeps us spinning,
People don’t understand our world,
They want to change it,
Welcome to the freak show babe,
We’ll never change you,
Endlessly spinning, it's a carousel,
Round and round and round you go,
Where you'll end you'll never know,
Round and round and round you go,
Where you'll end you'll never know,
Life is a carousel my dear,
It keeps us spinning,
People don’t understand our world,
They want to change it,
Welcome to the freak show babe,
We’ll never change you,
4 3 2 1,
Carousel.
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 you
A 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 down
Their tiny hands, their tiny feet
Such little hearts to miss a beat
Grotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled and taut a thousand yous
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those fun house thrills
The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh, painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for you
It's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
It's motor whirs and colors curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back
Carousel
Time stood still
And you remember it well
In sucked out
Time stood still
Roundabout back

Listen to me boy you have to be

Damn that I wanna see this band
I'll be good, you understand. this is
a moment of my life, that I can't

works. Yeah I know how to
bluff those jerks. I can't
hide my wide smile, when I
stalemate,sister -it's the game you play
did you run out of options or just lose your way ?
presumed alive,gone MIA
if every promise was a cheap little lie
the need to believe just refused to die
sometimes you can almost see time fly
into winter nights
green and blue like the northern lights
frayed 'round the edges
worse for wear,but fit for fight
the cracks won't show at night
blending in with the clientele
'round and around on the carousel
tomorrow daylight will break the spell
thursday morning has an icecoat on
summer left, and now winter's begun
sister,sister you can try to run
into winter nights
dance around with the northern lights
search till you find your wave
vindicate what you never forgave
tonight,tonight
all the stars will shine on you tonight
tonight all the stars will shine on you
tonight the shadows fade
the veils come off in the masquerade
the lies are worn,they've ceased to take
You and I are gonna get it right
Don't let me go
It takes two to make a leader but
One has to follow
Help me, help me understand
What we've become
I found a God who never seems to
Play the victim
On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
We go and go and go in circles
I wanna change more than anything
Just as you're leaving
Every room is an apology
That's lost it's meaning
You and I, I think we're better off
We found each other
And what's right, we are the
We're spinning further
On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
We go and go and go in circles
On and on and on we spin
To - ends, beneath begins
We don't know why, we don't know why
We go we go we go in circles
On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
We go and go and go in circles
On and on and on we go
Just like a carousel that's lost control
And we don't know why, we don't know why
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguised behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she's got to do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long
I'm too weak to face me
(she can only fool herself)
I never know just why you run so far away, far away from me
When it comes to how to live his life he can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reins
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
He can only fool himself for so long
I'm too weak to face me
(he can only fool himself)
Fly with me under the wings I gave you,
Cause she was his lover
She was his friend
He was her everything
Someone to depend
When she wakes up
In the mornin'
And all his things are gone
Sshe looks into the mirror
Thinkin' what did i do wrong
There he goes
But i gotta keep movin'
There ain't nothing
To lose for?
Everyday
Has it's ups and downs
You think you're lost
You will be found
Most of us
Want the same old things
Someone to love
What it brings
I know it's hard
It gets tough sometimes
You gotta hold on
Like a carousel
Going around
And around
And around
And around
She was so young
But she was in love
He promised her everything
That she could dream of
When she wakes up
In the mornin'
Finds that he ain't there
She looks into the mirror
Thinking how did i get here
There he goes
But i gotta keep movin'
There aint nothin'
To lose for?
Everyday has
It's ups and downs
You think you're lost
You will be found
Most of us
Want the same old things
Someone to love
What it brings
I know it's hard
It gets tough sometimes
You gotta hold on
Like a carousel
Ggoing around
And around
And around
And around
Yeahhhh
Everyday has
It's ups and downs
You think you're lost
You will be found
Most of us
Want the same old things
Someone to love
What it brings
I know it's hard
It gets tough sometimes
You gotta hold on
Like a carousel
Going around
Time to turn a 45 and listening to the opening line
Dreaming of a simpler life, that seems beyond me
It’s a feeling, I can’t take it, all these contradictions make it
Harder to reveal the sun that sunk inside
It’s gonna take a little while, for me to get that close to you
And every time I pass you by, my heart is breaking as I
Ride, on this worn out carousel
It just takes me round and round
Watch me reaching out for you
Yes I’m reaching out for you
But my head’s still spinning
I never meant to run you down, this twisted road has lead me on
Just to drop me off right where I started
This perfect picture comes and goes
And once again I think I’m close
Something pulls me back to this old carousel
And every time I pass you by, my heart’s breaking as I
Ride, on this worn out carousel
It just takes me round and round
Watch me reaching out for you
Yes I’m reaching out for you
But my head’s still spinning
Ride
Ride
Ride, on this worn out carousel
It just takes me on this ride
On this worn out carousel
It just takes me round and round
Watch me reaching out for you
Yes I’m reaching out for you
Yes, I’m reaching out for you
The alcohol had made him sweat.
He had trouble in lighting his cigarette.
He'd spilt his drink so his cuff was wet when she moved on to the floor.
CAROUSEL.... vermilion nails and a painted face.
So young and full of experience.
He felt alone till he heard her sing, then it made him want to
cry - CAROUSEL....
Never in his life had he felt so warm as when she came up to his
table and touched his chin. He closed his eyes....it almost broke his hearf.
He was lying in those sensual arms, when a waiter spotted his
sleeping form.
He shook his dreams, he awoke in pain and was thrown out in the road.
CAROUSEL.
Never in his life had he felt so cold as when he bounced
into the neon outside.
Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Fortune-tellers in glass cases
We will always remember these
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'till you can't see
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
And now we go around
Again we go around
And now we spin around
We're high above the ground
And down again around
And up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
We're on a ferris wheel
A crazy ferris wheel
A wheel within a wheel
And suddenly we feel
The stars begin to reel
And down again around
And up again around
And up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Crazy clowns chasing brass rings
Soda pop and rock-candy trees
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'till you can't see
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
And now we go around
Again we go around
And now we spin around
We're high above the ground
And down again around
And up again around
So high above the ground

A crazy ferris wheel
A wheel within a wheel
And suddenly we feel

And now we spin around
We're high above the ground
And down again around
And up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Kewpie-dolls with painted faces
Tricky shell games and missing peas
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'till you can't see
We're on a carousel
A crazy carousel
And now we go around

La, la, la, la - la, la, la, la
Brick by brick ya you're wasted away
And it's a hard life working to die
Just when ya couldn't take anymore
They pull ya, right back into the fire
With a, fake smile, you'll be on your way
You better just pack up and leave
Ya know the city'll eat cha alive
When there's nothing left here to believe
(Instrumental chorus)
I wish I could I was lying
I wish I could I was wrong
You've never been one to feel like, like you belong
If ya, quit would it save ya today
Or would ya end up out on the street
Like a pigeon in a park in a tree
You know them birds have never been free
Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal
Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal
Brick by brick ya you're wasted away
And it's a hard life working to die
Just when ya, thought you couldn't take anymore
They pull ya, right back into the fire
With a fake smile you'll be on your way
You better just pack up and leave, yeah
Ya know the city'll eat cha alive
When there's nothing left here to believe
Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal
Scream and yell, might as well
We're in hell, oh carousal
Scream and yell, Scream and yell
please come and take me with you, take me carousel
let me fly, take me, round and round
you gave me all I wanted, but now I'm back alive
I beg you, please please take me, take me carousel
please come and take me with you, take me carousel
let me fly, take me, round and round
you gave me all I wanted, but now I'm back alive
I beg you, please please take me, take me carousel
It was a crazy dream, a true one
almost too good to be
and now I want it back again
back again, for good
please come and take me with you, take me carousel
let me fly, take me, round and round
you gave me all I wanted, but now I'm back alive
It's crazy yo, it's like...
First my life is like a roller-coaster
Now it's like a carousel, y'know, going in circles
When will it stop
[Chorus]
Somebody let me off this muthafucka
My life is spinnin' 'round and 'round
Somebody let me off this muthafucka
I think I need to slow it down
Somebody let me off this muthafucka
My life is spinnin' 'round and 'round
Somebody let me off this muthafucka
I think I need to slow it down, down, DOWN
[Verse 1]
Yo, yo me, G' and Khary
Three the hard way
J. Nix, MK-6: take yo' pick man
Matter fact take six man, take a breather
I'll make it easy for you
This merry-go-round ain't merry at all
Danny wanna hop off this carousel
But scared he could fall
Figured I'd make a few beans with my daily routine
But if the monotony's making you scream
Then what's the ride worth?
Yo, what is my purpose?
If I could fly from this earth, I would
And gain perspective like a third eye could, but ummm
Everyday is like a rat race
Try to escape, fall flat on your face
'Cause in between the shows and the interviews
Dough and the scent of new
Hoes, centerfolds waitin' backstage in the nude
I sorta lost control
My star status got me feelin' mad exhausted yo
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Was interrupted in my thoughts by this shorty I used to rap to
Back when I had two at a time... I was that smooth
I ran into her at the State Fair
She told me '"we should do lunch"
I said "fuck it", and we just ate there
We was a great pair; we talked candidly
About the romance that we had in the past
She's gassed 'cause I'm rapping and I'm big time now
I asked how she was doing and she gave me a half-smile
Now that's wild
We made our way to the ride with the unicorns
And the moon ornaments - how appropriate
she told me it had been four years, still got no associate's
Degree, and now she's trying to cope with the debris
Of a marriage gone wrong, baby carriages on the lawn
Said she got a seed, six years old and can't read
I'm like, "whoa, slow up your speed"
She agreed and nodded her head
Bugged me out when she said
written by:Doug Supernaw
performed by Doug Supernaw on "Red and Rio Grande"
Like a kid on a carousel
I go around in circles
Not knowing whether to be scared
Of all the ups and downs
By the face you could never tell
That inside I'm hurtin'
I'm always on the move
But never gainin' ground
And the brightly painted ponies
They have feelings inside
Like me do they ever want
To get off of this ride
And the mirrors in the middle reflect
Years of going nowhere
Of trying to catch the horse out in front
When you know there's not a prayer
Somehow through the pain
I'll grab hold of the reins
And all will end up well
