Lyrics
Carousel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The world's like a big carousel
turning in space with the whole human race hanging on
but the sounds that are played on that penny arcade
turn me on
Then I need a little romance
if you play me that song
then you'll get me to dance
I can dance
sing me a slow song and maybe then I'll take a chance
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
Oh I need some loving tonight
someone to hold me and make me feel alright tonight
and I can't explain why the whole human race
wants to fight
For the world is a beautiful place
so small but it's all that we have to stand on
you and I
so won't you join me on my carousel in the sky
For there's something in the air
and it's turning spinning
seems like I float everywhere
