Carousel

I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel

Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another

When I'm at work, ya, I always rush right home for lunch
so I can check out what's up on the Brady Bunch
and when I'm walking through the front door at night
I gotta see who's winning on The Price is Right, oh

I never dreamed that I'd spend my days
staring at some tube emitting cathode rays
I need my TV

What's happening in this world, I don't care at all

I would do anything and that's
What scares me so bad
Don't want to live my life alone
Don't want to go back to what I had

Don't want to spend my life without
All those special things
Don't want to walk around being tied to
Anyone else's

Strings, strings, strings, strings

I would do anything and that's
What scares me so bad
Don't want to live my life alone
Don't want to go back to what I had

At the risk of sounding rude
just who the fuck do you think you are
to tell me what you expect of me today

Well, you can take your attitude
you're out of luck, you've gone way too far
if you think there's any chance I'm gonna stay

How long can I string you along
how little of myself can I give
and still make you believe I care

At the risk of sounding trite

When the clock strikes two
there's just so much to do
and I can't explain what I need
jobs and social groups
hearing the latest news
keeping your reputation clean

And I don't want to worry
about being on time
I see the way you hurry
and time runs your life again

The difference between east and west
money means so much less
and objects aren't so important to buy
I wish that a clock

Walking through the grass
Another blade next to you from the ground
As the wind does pass
I notice as you feel the breath of my shout

Your words are kind
The kind that repeatedly say no
But that's alright
I'm older than you so I've got time

What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time

My mind wanders as I,m trying not to fall in love with you
'Cause everytime I wake I ponder on my mistakes of
what I said, it is always my esteem that I sure lose
playing those stupid games as I always end up chasing you

[Chorus]
I can't help myself anymore
rehearsing my thoughts as I,m to scared to come to your door
I pushed it all aside just stand next to you

Oh, how I wish that they would last
Moments of peace that just slip through me so fast
Just when I think that they are gonna stay
Everything inside me just starts fading away

Sometimes it seems like all I hope for
Just gets thrown down on the floor
And then it seems like you don't love me anymore
Sometimes I wish that I could run away
Sometimes I wish I just had something to say

Two different people, two different places
through a one way window with two different faces
agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
the other person's shoes, you've not got in

Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world
wake up and see someone else's morals
what right to you
might be true

It's a different point of view to you
you cannot see things that are different to me

I'm gonna wanna see myself with someone too
Friends I don't pay are friends i never knew
So I took the chance and got some help from a few
And got a long and skinny friend to talk to

Cause I have the time and the liberty
To play with my pet sally
Please don't go away, sally please

No more lonely showers and uneaten foods
My salamander has hygiene too

You are better than me
girls money and everything that I
try to compete with you
but you beat me at everything I do

I see in you
the things that I would like to be
but I'm different from you
so you will have to be like me

I cannot be bought
my personality is what I choose
I was brought up without a silver cup
I won't covet the things owned by you

For all the world

Do you wanna know what I think of you
'cause you're not the way I thought you should be
so take back what you said
it's time to fix, it's time to fix your head

And now all alone, one's less than two
I've never been better off living lonely
to listen to what you say
I couldn't care less of what you say

What did you think of me acting this way
I guess you never really thought at all

White girl living in the big city
In a big apartment house
She's living with her boyfriend now

She drives off every day for school and work
She washes dishes now
And watches tv on the pull out couch

And every day's the same

White girl moved back to the suburbs
And she finally found a man
Who knows how to take care of her

She bought the perfect little house

There was a time long ago
But it seemed like yesterday
When all I wanted was you
And now you make a segway
As you turn your face away
And I know your words aren't true

And I don't want your lies
And I don't think that I'm
better than you inside

And you can take off your disguise
Cause I can see the truth that's hidden
Behind your eyes

And all those words that you don't say
