Carousel - Allister

Pony up the price of admission

Reminisce in thoughts of a better time

Hold your breath and hope for the best

The lights go down, but it’s only beginning

Just keep your head up

This world goes by in a flash

And where it stops is anyone’s guess

The same old sights and fading lights

Around and 'round stuck on a carousel

Eyes closed, and try to hold on

But in no time you’re back at the start

The same old songs and sing-alongs

Around and 'round stuck on a carousel

Lured into a false sense of safety

One loose screw and all this comes crashing down

Take a breath and hope for the best

The lights go down, but it’s only beginning

Just keep your head up

This world goes by in a flash

And where it stops is anyone’s guess

The same old sights and fading lights

Around and 'round stuck on a carousel

Eyes closed, and try to hold on

But in no time you’re back at the start

The same old songs and sing-alongs

Around and 'round stuck on a carousel

And for the moment it all seems ok

But in the end it could all fade away

Still drunk on memories you’ve buried inside

Just hold on tight and enjoy the ride

Move on but going nowhere

With thoughts of how you ended up here

It looks the same but things have changed

Around and 'round stuck on a carousel

This world goes by in a flash

And where it stops is anyone’s guess

The same old sights and fading lights

Around and 'round stuck on a carousel

Eyes closed, and try to hold on

But in no time you’re back at the start

The same old songs and sing-alongs

Around and 'round stuck on a carousel
