Carousel - John Watts

The alcohol had made him sweat

He had trouble in lighting his cigarette

He’d spilt his drink so his cuff was wet when she moved on to the floor

CAROUSEL… vermilion nails and a painted face

So young and full of experience

He felt alone till he heard her sing, then it made him want to

Cry — CAROUSEL…

Never in his life had he felt so warm as when she came up to his

Table and touched his chin.

He closed his eyes… it almost broke his hearf

He was lying in those sensual arms, when a waiter spotted his

Sleeping form

He shook his dreams, he awoke in pain and was thrown out in the road

CAROUSEL

Never in his life had he felt so cold as when he bounced

Into the neon outside

He closed his eyes… it almost broke his heart.

CAROUSEL!
