Riot Act – Carousel lyrics

I woke up from a rollercoaster dream
So real
It was a sign of the day to come
Now this time seems so unreal
I used to think
That love came once in a lifetime
But the memories come steady now
I built a wall to keep them out
I'm not the kind of man who stays
But you could persuade me
Take a ride on the merry-go-round
What lifts you up let's you down
You get high on the feeling yeah
But your feet never touch the ground
You go round and round... Carousel
Now hold on tighter. Don't let go
There is no room for doubt here
Trade your freedom for laughter
Come on take me faster... faster
Try and understand me now
I'll get through to you somehow
Don't give it away
Just give it all to me
Chorus
I'm drifting off in time and space
Feels like I know this place
I think I've been here before
I locked that door behind me
Try and understand me now
I'll get through to you somehow
I don't give it away. But I'll give it all to you
Chorus
Carousel... Carousel... Carousel
Going round and round and round
Everybody's going round
You and me we're going round
How come we keep going down, down
