You've got me stranded on your mercy-go-'round Mercy-go-'round And I can't deal with all the ways you've been getting by And the only point to ever calling is to say that you're not thinking clearly And we're waiting for all the sense to just start making itself it all looks better when we're watching on television Watching on television Another thing that we can share but don't have to feel And you're losing every thought you're starting Does time seem to move too fast and steady? When the stories don't look good on paper I'd do anything to just move backwards I'd do anything to just move backwards When it all feels bad to stay and worse to leave And I'm picking up more than I put down Picking up more than I put down I keep picking up more than I put down and it always seems to go When the nights, yeah, they all seem to be settling slow and you're losing every thought you're starting Does time seem to move too fast and steady? When the stories don't look good on paper I'd do anything just to move backwards I'd do anything just to move backwards and start it again Mercy-go-'round and round Mercy-go-'round and round I'd do anything to just move backwards Mercy-go-'round and round Mercy-go-'round and round I'd do anything to just move backwards Mercy-go-'round and round Mercy-go-'round and round I'd do anything to just move backwards Mercy-go-'round and round mercy-go-'round and round
