(Intro)

I run the carousel

With horses and tinkerbell

Late night by the canal

You wouldn't notice me

I have a tendency

 To blend with the music

 I run the carousel

Children swirl around

Like drapes in a summertown

Husbands kindle their wives

Sometimes it tortures me

The envy and the jealousy

But I never panic

 I run the carousel

 I run the carousel

 I run the carousel

Sometimes when the birds fly over

I look up, but I don't want to go nowhere

 I got lives to save under the open

I live as a mystery man

And I sleep in a caravan

And I love everybody

(Chorus: Same as the second chorus above)

(Then transitions to G#maj7 section)

(Followed by intro riff)
