People think my life is grand
But, they don't know the trouble with sand
Slowly, slowly it trickles through
The hourglass window distorts the view
Mosquitoes in my garden and dents in my car
Lots of sticky fingers on my cookie jar
Gossip and stories and so-called news
Feed the vultures a delicious stew
There's no need for a rebel yell
From our ivory citadel
Hear the pitter-patter, what a lovely sound
Your love makes my world go 'round
Nature is abuzz with the sound - undisguised and unrefined
Joy and melancholy echo around - syncopated and harmonized
Life is just a carousel ride around we go - biding our time
Through ups and downs, we're side by side on this zany carousel ride
Go with the flow on the carousel
It's against time but, it parallels
The other side that goes the other way
And their position will remain
Nature is abuzz with the sound - undisguised and unrefined
Joy and melancholy echo around - syncopated and harmonized
Spinning, rolling, whirling, floating
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
Try to relax - roll with the tide
Life is just a carousel ride around we go - biding our time
Through ups and downs, we're side by side on this zany carousel ride
Spinning, rolling, whirling, floating
Just sit back and enjoy the ride
Try to relax - roll with the tide
Life is just a carousel ride around we go - biding our time
Through ups and downs, we're side by side on this zany carousel ride
Life is just a carousel ride around we go - biding our time...
