Gabriel Otto - Carousel lyrics

[Intro: Eva Holbrook] In the dead of night Deep inside my cell Saw the brightest light Shine from somewhere else As it came to life Felt it cast its spell And the carousel was turning [Chorus] I'm on a carousel I'm on a carousel I'm on a carousel I'm on a carousel [Verse 1: Jonny 5] Middle of the dark I'm lying all alone Little green spark Twinkle shining from my phone I don't know what I'm searching for But why not Wishing on a star, my hands are white hot Now I've got all the colors in a whirl Revolving while I spin and swirl Everybody follow me Follow me Cause I've got all the colors in the world Tour all these sites like I'm on a boat Float maneuvering my eye site high on a post Ghosts illuminate the night like Two minute lite bright In tune with the zeitgeist The movement is so human and lifelike Forget the small talk Gimme the festival slot The best that ya'll got Leave me up here On my pedestal While the rest of ya'll watch the spectacle Please don't let me fall off [Chorus] [Bridge] I have never seen you but I know you're over there I have never seen you but I know you're over there I have never seen you but I know you're over there I have never seen you [Verse 2: Brer Rabbit] We are aliens and odd ones Orphaned by chosen boundaries Adorned in algorithms The schisms of hidden industries In the streets we all are strangers Gaze in the faces disconnect We form we click repeat deform And in defeat We disrespect We are all those orphans Who can't forgive our families A tribe that's not divided Just blinded By our realities Our scars are what bind us We toss and scream and lay awake The antidote of the in between Is to put our dreams on layaway [Chorus] [Outro] All I wanted All I wanted All I wanted (was to win at everything and never fail) All I wanted (was to live my life upon a carousel) All I wanted (was to win at everything and never fail) All I wanted (was to live my life upon a carousel) [Chorus x2] [Intro]
