A pink balloon floats gently by
As the circus lights illuminate the sky
Where did you go, you promised not to leave
At age six, it was hard to ever believe
And all I can hear is laughing
All I hear is laughing
Listen to the sound of the carousel spinning around
Strings of coloured bulbs float through the haze
Cracked reflections in the mirror maze
Too sickly sweet, the cotton candy
Leering clown faces loom towards me
And all I can hear is laughing
All I hear is laughing
Listen to the sound of the carousel spinning around
It's so cold out here in the dark
Standing in the light of the stars
It's such a big place, I thought they'd care
About leaving me alone on the night of the fayre
Listen to the sound of the carousel spinning around
