Carousels Lyrics by Beirut
Carousels twirl all around excited youth
I do not mind at all
Where tonight in a world full of thrills can carry me up
Far above it all
It’s a long way down from here to the sound
Oh, watch the faces go ’round to the stars
Then the ground
Ferris wheels carried us away not so long ago
Times I’ve betrayed
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
The years have passed so slow
It’s a long way down from here to the sound
Oh, watch the faces go ’round to the stars
Then the ground
