Merry-Go-Round

Light the funeral pyre

There's no need to hang around

All the love and understanding is in the lost and found

We couldn't get any higher

Now we're speeding towards the ground

Shall we take a pretty picture on the way back down?

Another day on the merry-go-round

Another night where you talk me down

Is it over? Pull me closer

But don't you wake me now

For another day on the merry-go-round

Another fatal attraction

Another future in decline

Every day a little harder to be fair and kind

An idiotic reaction, never too hard to fine

Just another fallen victim of the one track mind

And another day on the merry-go-round

Another night where you talk me down

Is it over? Pull me closer

But don't you wake me now

For another day on the merry-go-round

So light the funeral pyre

You know that I'll be miles away

You can keep it for yourselves if you don't make me stay

For another day on the merry-go-round

Another night where you talk me down

Is it over? Pull me closer

But don't you wake me now

For another day on the merry-go-round

Another day on the merry-go-round
