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

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

Middle of the dark and 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 start, 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 life-like

Forget the small talk, gimme the festival slot, the best that y'all got

Leave me up here on my pedestal

While the rest of y'all watch the spectacle

Please don't let me fall off

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

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

We are aliens and odd ones orphaned by chosen boundaries

Adorned in algorithm, the schisms of hidden industries

In the streets we all are strangers

Gaze in the faces, disconnect

We form, we clique, 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

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

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)

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

I'm on a carousel

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
