Carousel

Yesterday, devastation You took your life away Left my heart with no sensation Nothing left to say Now today my fixation - spinning in pretend Laying out imagination just to feel again Don't tell me my future, not even a mention I'm smashing my crystal ball I'd rather my make believe alter dimension Just outside of my wall And I pass the time spinning the carousel Waiting for life to arrive And along the way I'm singing the parallel The fantasy keeps me alive Through the veil it's just my folly It's how I play the game And maybe I'm a bit too naughty Maybe just insane I'm spinning a story the story that never gets old Inventing another you And I sit here counting the songs of my soul Spiralling out of tune And I pass the time spinning the carousel Waiting for life to arrive And along the way I'm singing the parallel The fantasy keeps me alive Just another day spinning the carousel Pretending my dreams have come true When all I can think of is you So I stay in a trance In the dark I dance And my wheel of chance Says tomorrow's romance Will change my addiction And so my prediction is this I'll be smiling SOLO Spinning spinning spinning round Spinning spinning spin my carousel for you Life is twirling, emotions churning I'm still falling, falling falling for you And then, again and then again, again So i pass the time spinning the carousel Waiting for life to arrive I was playing the fool living the parallel The fantasy kept me alive But in reality Life is the carousel The journey is just as true But one thing I never knew I was there all along with you
