Merry go round

Chris Porro


Here is your ticket the ticket man said 
Now step aside son the shows over there 
You turn apprehensive alone in a crowd 
The smiles could be snakes but you know better now... 

It's a merry go round, finally I'm in that place 
Where the horse are smiling people 
I'm sure its a dream but I'm happy to be here 
So spin me around in this merry go round 
And I'm driving a cloud my horn is a lovers whisper 
and she purring to come back to bed 
and the sun will come down and warm us for breakfast 
And every bit of your face is a merry go round 

could be I'm dying approaching an end 
could be a flashback from E when I was 19 
the ticket man smiles could be he remembers 
the day I showed up with no friends 
and the horsed back then all played villains 
the elephants roared like and untrusting world 
but they're all gentle now!
