I run the carousel
With horses and tinkerbell
Late night by the canal
You wouldn't notice me
I have a tendency
To blend with the music
I run the carousel
Children swirl around
Like drapes in a summertown
Husbands kindle their wives
Sometimes it tortures me
The envy and the jealousy
But I never panic
I run the carousel
Sometimes when the birds fly over
I look up, but I don't want to go nowhere
Got lives to save under the open
Live as a mystery man
Sleep in a caravan
I love everybody
I run the carousel
