Carousels
The carousels, they come to life
Filling the darkness with big bright lights
And the laughter and music that once was elusive
Is now on repeat in our minds
When does the repetition end?
Our realities and dreams start to blend
And our dreams become boring and bland
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
It's going round in one big circle if it's always going right
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
And in order to progress we need to leave the perfect past behind
We have greener pastures to find
I was once confronted by a clown
In place of a smile, he was wearing a frown, he said
D'ya think I piss glitter? I vomit rainbows?
The shit that I go through, no-one knows
But every day I perform, and I maintain a smile
And when I see the joy in my audience's eyes
It keeps me sane for a while
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
It's going round in one big circle if it's always going right
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
And in order to progress we need to leave the perfect past behind
We have greener pastures to find
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's just therapy to keep me on my toes
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's so my brain don't go from slow to comatose
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's just therapy to keep me on my toes
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's an addiction that stops me growing old
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
Filling the darkness with big bright lights
And the laughter and music that once was elusive
Is now on repeat in our minds
When does the repetition end?
Our realities and dreams start to blend
And our dreams become boring and bland
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
It's going round in one big circle if it's always going right
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
And in order to progress we need to leave the perfect past behind
We have greener pastures to find
I was once confronted by a clown
In place of a smile, he was wearing a frown, he said
D'ya think I piss glitter? I vomit rainbows?
The shit that I go through, no-one knows
But every day I perform, and I maintain a smile
And when I see the joy in my audience's eyes
It keeps me sane for a while
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
It's going round in one big circle if it's always going right
(We need excitement, we need to live our lives)
And in order to progress we need to leave the perfect past behind
We have greener pastures to find
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's just therapy to keep me on my toes
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's so my brain don't go from slow to comatose
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's just therapy to keep me on my toes
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
It's an addiction that stops me growing old
(Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show)
