Children playing with fire and ice
Not aware that they're fed with lies
Falling over when reason dies, hmm-mm
And it's a merry-go-round, I find
Years repeating 'til death is kind
Buried deeper in holes that bind, hmm-mm
Down, down it goes, down to the river downstream
Stand tall in a pretty red dress
Make faces with diamonds and pearls, and then
Round and round you go round the bend
Round and round you go 'til it ends
Change is never gonna be easy
Voices always going unheard
Turning up too late to the party
Leaving without saying a word
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Down, down it goes
Down to the river downstream (down it goes, down to the river downstream)
Stand tall in a pretty red dress
Make faces with diamonds
And pearls and then (make faces with diamonds and pearls and then)
Round and round you go round the bend
Round and round you go 'til it ends
The road is empty, the sky is black
Makes no sense to be turning back
Strange behaviour turns to attack
Mm-mm, mm-mm
