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
