Lyrics

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
