High up on the carousel We missed the big parade Riding on a horse named parallel Couldn't find a word to say We were playing hide and seek They failed to track us down We led them out To the edge of town We crossed They turned around ♪ The record spells it out The street stays loud Slip right through the fingers Left them questioning If we can't tie this in somehow Hope it don't take long It don't take long ♪ Had to leave the master's feet Just to see what's going down Sure wont get No sympathy yea If I cant tie this in somehow Hope it don't take long Don't take long
