Carousel

Yesterday, devastation
You took your life away
Left my heart with no sensation
Nothing left to say

Now today my fixation - spinning in pretend
Laying out imagination just to feel again

Don't tell me my future, not even a mention
I'm smashing my crystal ball
I'd rather my make believe alter dimension
Just outside of my wall

And I pass the time spinning the carousel
Waiting for life to arrive
And along the way I'm singing the parallel
The fantasy keeps me alive

Through the veil it's just my folly
It's how I play the game
And maybe I'm a bit too naughty
Maybe just insane

I'm spinning a story the story that never gets old
Inventing another you
And I sit here counting the songs of my soul
Spiralling out of tune

And I pass the time spinning the carousel
Waiting for life to arrive
And along the way I'm singing the parallel
The fantasy keeps me alive

Just another day spinning the carousel
Pretending my dreams have come true
When all I can think of is you

So I stay in a trance
In the dark I dance
And my wheel of chance
Says tomorrow's romance

Will change my addiction
And so my prediction is this
I'll be smiling

SOLO

Spinning spinning spinning round
Spinning spinning spin my carousel for you

Life is twirling, emotions churning
I'm still falling, falling falling for you

And then, again and then again, again

So i pass the time spinning the carousel
Waiting for life to arrive
I was playing the fool living the parallel
The fantasy kept me alive

But in reality
Life is the carousel
The journey is just as true
But one thing I never knew
I was there all along with you
