Merry Go Round

Hush was the first word you were taught And they watched you wear The clothes they claimed that they bought They brought you down To watch the merry-go around In fall, you knew how much it cost A trouble doll Around your neck when you lost You wouldn't make a sound But I could hear your little heart pound And I watched your feet slip off the ground Merry go round in dreams Writes 'em down, it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round in dreams You wake to another day and find The wind's blowing out of key with your sky Only you can see And the rain dancing in the night Everybody stands around in delight Merry go round in dreams Writes 'em down, it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round in dreams And everybody thinks she's sick She's got two worlds she can pick And she's sad Hush is the only word you know And I stopped listening long ago They ignored me with a smile You as a child But the trouble doll hears your heart pound And your feet they say goodbye to the ground Merry go round in dreams Writes 'em down it seems When she sleeps, she's free Merry go round in dreams Merry go round in dreams Merry go round in me Merry go round Round and round in me Merry go round Round and round in me --- Merry Go Round - The Replacements
