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!
