Carousel Carousel
painted horses in a ring
The knights had long before
relinquished their steely swords;
replaced with ambiguous politicians.
Can you see the pain on their faces;
the memories traverse their frozen countenances?
Carousel Carousel
painted horses in a ring
Princesses have set down their queenly vestiges -
denied themselves respect -
to take up obscene dispositions.
Can you hear the agonizing nostalgia;
the tacit attempt for reaching peaceful dreams?
Carousel Carousel
painted horses in a ring
For long deceased royalty
you continue your macabre parade
running from the vaccuous reminders of time past.
Can you smell their fear on the wind
carrying the lament for the future?
Carousel Carousel
we're painted horses in a ring
Carousel Carousel
we're painted horses on parade
Carousel Carousel
can't get off tonight
Carousel Carousel
trapped here for al time...
