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 |
