Riding on a roundabout Clouds above me spin like pin wheels in a summer breeze All I am is here right now I'm a wish I made out loud Riding on a roundabout Funny how the way things change Funny how from day to day, it always looks the same Never mind, it's what we find Round so fast it makes you blind Riding on a roundabout Life is not a game And you said "Life is not a game" Never seem to get ahead
Can't remember what was said When we were back at school While others learned, my candles burned Too much to do, my head was turned Riding on a roundabout Life is not a game Tell you what I've got in mind Waiting for the sun to shine A day without a care Forget the time, perhaps I'll find Find the boy I left behind Riding on a roundabout Riding on a roundabout
