Buffy Sainte-Marie - The Carousel Lyrics




I'm a horse on a carousel
Plaster mask but who can tell
Angels in heaven and devils in hell
When the children have had their ride
They can go, but I must bide
Up on a pedestal, nowhere to hide
Watch me 'round and 'round

Flying horses they are just
Little girls who wish too much
To be loved when they grow up
Watch me 'round and 'round

Merry-go-rounds they are merry for those
Who are free to come and go
I'm bolted down to the merriment show
Watch me 'round and 'round

My prayers were answered the same way I'd planned
I got my status there's nowhere to stand
I've got my wings, now there's nowhere to land
Watch me 'round and 'round

Wished I may, and wished I might
Wished my fun could last all night
Chains of tinsel caught me tight
Watch me 'round and 'round

When the children have had their ride
They can go, but I must bide
Up on a pedestal, nowhere to hide
Watch me 'round and 'round
