I run the carousel With horses and tinkerbell Late night by the can*l You wouldn't notice me I have a tendency To blend with the music I run the carousel Children swirl around Like drapes in a summertown Husbands kindle their wives Sometimes it tortures me The envy and the jealousy But I never panic I run the carousel Sometimes when the birds fly over I look up, but I don't want to go nowhere Got lives to save under the open Live as a mystery man Sleep in a caravan I love everybody I run the carousel
