Up and down
Round and round
Better get used to the merry go round

They call it life but I hear the carnival sounds and I go ride the merry go around and around

I have to get off and settle down
For a few moments the world stops spinning and I’m on solid ground
But it never lasts long and when I hear the sound

Time to get back on the merry go round

There are intervals when the carnival leaves town and I seem to level out and everything is calm …. Just when I start to relax and feel relief

Off in the distance I hear the elephants song and I know it’s coming and it won’t be long
Until I find myself saddled next to the girl who never speaks ..and the world starts spinning and I just grit my teeth

Trying to focus on something…to keep from getting sick and repeating the phrase that keeps me alive

“This to shall pass, this to shall pass
Over and over and over again

Welcome to the Merry Go Round
