Peter Straker - Carousel lyrics
[Peter Straker - Carousel lyrics]
Carnivals and cotton candy
Carousels and calliopes
Fortune-tellers in glass cases
We will always remember these
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'til you can't see
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
And then we go around and then we go around
And then we spin around
Up high above the ground
And down again around and up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
We're on a ferris wheel a crazy ferris wheel
A wheel within a wheel and suddеnly we feel
The stars begin to reel
And down again around and up again around
And up again around so high abovе the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
Carnivals and cotton candies
Carousels and calliopes
Crazy clowns chasing brass rings
Soda pops and rock-candy trees
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'til you can't see
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
And then we go around and then we go around
And then we spin around
Up high above the ground
And down again around and up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
We're on a ferris wheel a crazy ferris wheel
A wheel within a wheel and suddenly we feel
The stars begin to reel
And down again around and up again around
And up again around so high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
And then we go around and then we go around
And then we spin around
Up high above the ground
And down again around and up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
Carnivals and cotton candies
Carousels and calliopes
Kewpie dolls with painted faces
Tricky shell games and missing peas
Merry-go-rounds quickly turning
Quickly turning for you and me
And the whole world madly turning
Turning, turning 'till you can't see
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
And then we go around and then we go around
And then we spin around
Up high above the ground
And down again around and up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
We're on a ferris wheel a crazy ferris wheel
A wheel within a wheel and suddenly we feel
The stars begin to reel
And down again around and up again around
And up again around so high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
And then we go around and then we go around
And then we spin around
Up high above the ground
And down again around and up again around
So high above the ground
We feel we've got to yell
We're on a carousel a crazy carousel
La, la, la, la la, la, la, la
La, la, la la, la, la, la, la - la!
Carousels and calliopes
