Carousel
First was the horse, of course
And a chariot in a glance
Secretly feeling remorse
Hiding the urge to dance
And a chariot in a glance
Now unicorns and swans
Hiding the urge to dance
Flying by, instantly gone
Now unicorns and swans
Lions, tigers, and bears
Flying by, instantly gone
Quickly spinning up the stairs
Lions, tigers, and bears
Shrill cry of a child’s laugh
Quickly spinning up the stairs
Ostrich rides behind giraffe
Shrill cry of a child’s laugh
Mirrors reflect, gleam, and shine
Ostrich rides behind giraffe
Seemingly spinning a straight line
Mirrors reflect gleam and shine
Roars, laughs, cries, and yells
Seemingly spinning a straight line
Whistles, shouts, sounds the bells
Roars, laughs, cries, and yells
Spinning, spinning, spinning faster
Whistles, shouts, sounds the bells
Screaming, screaming, screaming laughter
Spinning, spinning, spinning faster
Gorilla, gorilla, cheetah, panther
Screaming, screaming, screaming laughter
Start to slow ever after
Gorilla, gorilla, cheetah, panther
Running wild, running wild
Start to slow ever after
Dizzy, sickly little child
Running wild, running wild
Secretly feeling remorse
Dizzy, sickly little child
First was the horse, of course
