You clamber up
And look behind
Their watchful eyes

The helping hands
A hen that's fierce
And painted blue

With red eyes
Wants to swallow you
A dragon dives and soars 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 and taut a thousand yous

Staring back through stinging tears
Remembering those funhouse thrills


The paintbox tunes and wild balloons
Their watchful eyes, you start to swoon
Oh painted vile in lurid hue

The snarling horse that waits for you

Its motor whirrs and colours curl

Inside your head the monsters whirl
Its motor whirrs 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
Carousel
