The Carousel

## The Carousel   Around and around no way off The horse I ride has a plastic head The bells sound and the lights flash The horse I ride, it's eyes are dead

Up in front and behind are more
The car has one who's trying
The bulbs are bright but dirty
The car has one who's dying

Colours so bright and shiny
So much promise is everywhere
Cheap paint chipped and flaking
So much promise yet unaware

The ride master said it was free
There are many who jumped aboard
The cost was still to come
There are many who only hoard

It is the only ride in the park
Tell them to come one come all
Tell your friends to join us too
Tell them not about the fall

Around and around we will go
Thinking the ride is leading on
The end may be a lot sharper
Thinking we couldn't be wrong.
