Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
You clamber up and look behind
Their watchful eyes, their helping hands
A hand that's fearsome, painted blue
With red eyes wants to swallow you
A dragon dance and swords on tracks
The hands that strap you to its back
You turn around and look behind
Their smiling eyes won't help you down
Their tiny hands, their tiny feet
Such little hearts to miss a beat
Grotesque dwarves in mirrored rooms
Pulled down, tortured a thousand years
Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those funhouse thrills
The paintbox teens and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh, painted vile in lurid hue
The snarling horse that waits for you
Its moans are worse and colours curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
Its moans are worse and colours curl
Inside your head the monsters whirl
In sucked out, time stood still
Roundabout back, carousel
Time stood still and you remember it well
In sucked out, time stood still
Roundabout back, carousel
Time stood still and you remember it well
Carousel
Oh, carousel
