I still like this song...

carousel

climb aboard baby
I might be chipped but I've been around
if is this your first ride
well you couldn't have picked a gentler mount

round and round we go
a spiral never ending
and where it stops, we do not know
that's what we're saying

this circle we're traveling
this carnival calliope of circumstance
you're holding cotton candy
wet, wet sugary lips

round and round we go
barely touching, shallow breathing
round and round we go
that's where we're staying

oh no
don't cry for the time you've wasted
don't cry for the things you're losing
don't cry... we all know you dear
love lives inside you like a cancer cell
you're really crying for the carousel

the carousel is weeping
for the horses all locked inside
pierced by these posts of need
and ridden into the night

round and round we go
a spiral never ending
and where it stops, we always know
an old world ending…
and where it stops, we always know
an old world ending…

oh no
don't cry for the time you've wasted
don't cry for the things you're losing
don't cry... we all know you dear
love lives inside you like a cancer cell
you're really crying for the carousel
