If you want the best, wanna be with the blessed Come on and ride on my merry-go-round You've wasted your money on all of the rest Come on and ride on my merry-go-round It doesn't go faster It isn't that safe If there's a problem There'll be no escape Half of the horses are stuck on with tape Ride on my merry-go-round You're ridden the stairs and you're bored of the fair Come on and ride on my merry-go-round You're looking for something they can't give you there Come on and ride on my merry-go-round You've read all the papers You know what they said But no-one who knows Will look elsewhere instead Cos the real excitement is all in your head When you ride on my merry-go-round The taller the story, the bigger the dream The smaller the ghost train, the sadder the scream Just look at the faces Of those who have been Their smiles are bigger Than you've ever seen Cos I am the man and you'll know what I mean When you ride on my merry-go-round I am the man and you'll know what I mean When you ride on my merry-go-round
