Chris Simmons - Charcoal Carousel Lyrics

Tin soldiers and pearls
You and me at the end of the world
Holding tight while the horses all burn
Soot rings round our mouths

Big Panda eyes
Vodka tears are just fuelling the fire
Clinging on whilst the last embers die
Jumping off while I can

So get off before it covers us all
There is nothing so sad
As breaking free from the spell
Get off
Before it covers us all
There is nothing as sad
As a Charcoal Carousel

I knew from the start
You were blessed with a big carbon heart
I was happy to play horse and cart
You left the reigns on the ground

So get off before it covers us all
There is nothing so sad
As breaking free from the spell
Get off
Before it covers us all
There is nothing as sad
As a Charcoal Carousel
