Merry-go-round
What moves about so late at 3 A.M. this night?
Rust covering your frame, paint is chipped and undone
The clock is chiming, three bells ring into the dark
Both the night and day are young; it's only just begun!
The smell of grease that comes from you assaults my lungs
Scars covering your heart, thoughts of nothing but rot
You're not yet at the edge, we ain't yet pushed that far
Is this all you got, tell me, is this your best shot?
All of this is but a game to me, just keep on spinning 'round and 'round
All of this is but a game to me, just keep on playing, keep on playing, keep on playing...
Mindlessly the hordes of people fall in line
Folks covering you up, they all wanna ride
Without a cause, even if it ain't their fault
Weary from their wandering like they're carried by the tide!
Too early to be dawn, still the dead of night
Still covering your eyes, don't you dare let them shut
It's almost time to move on to your daily grind
Still you've got it in you, don't you? Don't you still get your guts?
Merry-go-round (Once you start you can't stop)
Merry-go-round (We don't care if somebody drops)
Merry-go-round (Who knows what they're on about!)
Merry-go-round, merry-go-round, merry-go-round!
