In this house with your distorted views You watch me rise and you watch me fall again Going round, going round, going round to the top again Watch me fall, falling down Watch my life shatter on the ground again On this carousel of love and hate You reach for the golden ring Just a little too late A little too late It's just a little too late Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Up and down, up and down Up and down and a round and round again And if it stops and I fall off I'm just so dizzy I can hardly walk again In this house with your distorted views You watch me rise and you watch me fall again Going round, going round, going round to the top again Standing there, you're laughing loud You laugh at me It's just a little too late A little too late Just a little too late A little too late If this carousel won't ever stop One day I'm just gonna jump off And leave you here all alone To ride this carousel on your own Going round I won't go no more I'm out of the roundhouse and through the door Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Round and a round and round the round house Up and down, up and down Empty carousel no one to ride You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
