Riding along on a carousel

Trying to catch up to you

Riding along on a carousel

Will I catch up to you?

Horses chasing 'cause they're racing

So near, yet so far

On a carousel

On a carousel

Nearer, nearer by changing horses

Still so far away

People fighting for their places

Just get in my way

Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you

Still we're going round

On a carousel

On a carousel

'Round and 'round and 'round and round and

'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round with you

Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

As she leaves, she drops the presents

That she won before

Pulling ducks out of the water

Got the highest score

Now's my chance and I must take it

A case of do-or-die

On a carousel

On a carousel

'Round and 'round and 'round and round and

'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round with you

Up, down, up, down, up, down, too

Riding along on a carousel

Trying to catch up to you

Riding along on a carousel

Will I catch up to you?

Now we take our ride together

No more chasing her

On a carousel

On a carousel

On a carousel

On a carousel

On a carousel

Hey, Carrie Anne

Hey, Carrie Anne

When we were at school, our games were simple

I played the janitor, you played a monitor

Then you played with older boys and prefects

What's the attraction in what they're doing?

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

You were always something special to me

Quite independent, never caring

You lost your charm as you were aging

Where is your magic disappearing?

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

You're so, so like a woman to me 

(So like a woman to me)

So, so like a woman to me 

(So, so like a woman to me)

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

People live and learn but you're still learning

You use my mind and I'll be your teacher

When the lesson's over, you'll be with me

Then I'll hear the other people saying

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

Hey Carrie Anne

What's your game now, can anybody play?

Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne, Carrie Anne

If you could only see me

I know exactly where I am

You wouldn't want to be me

Oh, I can assure you of that

I'm not the guy to run with

'Cause I'll throw you off the line

I'll break you and destroy you

Given time

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

It's plain to see it's hopeless

Going on the way we are

So even though I'd lose you

You'd be better off by far

He's not the man to hold your trust

Everything he touches turns to dust

In his hands

Nothing he can do is right

He'd even like to sleep at night

But he can't

 (All he touches turns to dust)

(All he touches turns to dust)

(All he touches turns to dust)

(All he touches turns to dust)

I wish someone would find me

And help me gain control

Before I lose my reason

And my soul

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

He's King Midas with a curse

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas in reverse

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas with a curse

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas in reverse

(All he touches turns to dust)

He's King Midas with a curse

My head is hanging heavy

With the thoughts of him in mind

'Tis sacrilege for us to take advantage of the blind

So tell before you come to me 

From out of yonder skies

A man's a man who looks a man

Right between the eyes

And the pain that we can bring to him

I don't think he could beat

Please don't ask me how I know

I've just been up that street

And all the people living there

Have been silenced by their own lies

A man's a man who looks a man 

Right between the eyes

And talking' from experience 

I know how he would feel

Waking up and finding that his one love wasn't real

But the age of truth will soon appear

Aquarius arrives

A man's a man who looks a man

Right between the eyes

Now the old days are gone

What you gonna do from here

When you find the strength to carry on

Don't you know you got nothing to fear

Flying in the fast lane

And burning down

Turning down the highway to you

Tell you I'd do anything just to be where you are

Your love is the reason I made it this far

Now the young days are going past

Can you make it to the end of the line

Just hold onto your dreams and hope they last

Don't you know you got nothing but time

Flying in the fast lane

And burning down

Turning down the highway to you

I tell you I'd do anything just to be where you are

Your love is the reason I made it this far

Love is the reason

Love is the reason

Love is the reason

Reason

Love is the reason

Love is the reason

Love is the reason

We're all on our own

So look at us all

How can we not raise a voice

Against the madness

There isn't the time

To wander or wait

Cause only the young can carry the weight

And face the silence

Do we run, do we stop

Do we lie down? I think not

There's an answer that we've got

We are not helpless, ooh, ooh, ooh

The vision will stand

As blindness will fall

Now we must look for the light

In the darkness

Do we run, do we stop

Do we lie down? I think not

There's an answer that we've got

We are not helpless, no, no, no, oh

* * * *

It's the longest ray from the darkest cave

To the brightest shining star

But wherever you are, you are

It's the longest ray from the naked ape

To the astronaut you are

But whoever you are, you are

If you've ever wondered why we are here

It will come not a second too soon

The answers are falling like water from the Moon

Yes, if you've ever wondered why we are here

It will come not a second too soon

Answers are falling like water from the Moon

Under darkest night you can see just where you are

But whatever you are

You are the star

* * * *

You didn't know me, but I'd waited a lifetime

To find somebody I could really love

You didn't know it, but you came at the right time

It was only then this lonely man could love

It was only then this lonely man could love

I've got to tell you that I'm having a good time

You showed me things I've been dreaming of

You saw me drowning and you threw me a lifeline

It was only then this lonely man could love

It was only then this lonely man could love

Come to me

And I will kiss your tears away

Come to me

And I will kiss your fears away

Show you how I can love

Come to me

And I will kiss your tears away

Come to me

And I will kiss your fears away

You didn't know me, but I'd waited a lifetime

To find somebody I could really love

You didn't know it, but you came at the right time

It was only then this lonely man could love

It was only then this lonely man could love

It was only then this lonely man could love

 

* * * *

I'm in here

With a lonely light, but maybe you can see me

Oh, and I'm in here

With my mind on fire

Do your best

And try to find me

Underneath

There's a lovely life that screams for a little daylight

Oh, and through my eyes

I can see for sure

That my soul shines on

So try to find me

'Cause I'm trapped in the web of a dark night

Won't you please be my bridge into daylight?

When I know I am loved, I am all right

So try to find me

Try to find me

'Cause I'm trapped in the web of a dark night

Won't you please be my bridge into daylight?

‘Cause when I know I am loved, I am all right

Try to find me

Oh, hear my heart

It's the same as yours but it beats with a distant thunder

Oh and I’m still in here

With my heart so pure

I can say no more

Won't you unlock my door

And try to find me

Once there was a time when a star was shining bright

Crying "Only For The Lonely" in the night

From a Blue Bayou, he saw a generation come and go

And he influenced them all, every one we know

And when he looked behind to a darker time

They were only memories

 

He knew the madness and he knew the pain

He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

Behind the shades, the man in black

Will always come back again

 

Now, once again, he had everything

He's got a brand new record and a traveling band

He had a new life, a good wife, and she loved him

So there ain't no way, he could lose, he could only win

In a world of fading idols

He's the voice that never let you down

 

He knew the madness and he knew the pain

He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

Behind the shades, the man in black

Will always come back again, yes he will

 

And then in dreams, she'd walk away from him

But when he's wide awake she is by his side

There's no need for crying

He left his music, a part of his soul

So we can always remember when

 

He knew the madness and he knew the pain

He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

Behind the shades, the man in black

Will always come back again

He knew the madness and he knew the pain

He'd seen fire and he'd seen the rain

Behind the shades, the man in black

Will always come back again, yes he will

 

Behind the shades, the man in black

Is behind the shades

Staring at the TV

And the traffic out my window

Anywhere my mind goes

It wanders back to you

Without you here beside me

And your love here to guide me

I'd hate to think of where I'd be

If you weren't coming home

Life isn't always fair

A game of truth or dare

Still there's something we can share

We breathe the same air

Under the same skies

So close your eyes and breathe

We breathe the same air

Under the same skies

So close your eyes and breathe

Wasting all my time

Without you here beside me

This house is cold and empty

And I feel so uninspired

Life isn't always fair

A game of truth or dare

Still there's something we can share

We breathe the same air

Under the same skies

So close your eyes and breathe

We breathe the same air

Under the same skies

So close your eyes and breathe

I'm so glad you're here

'Cause there is nothing beyond you

And it feels so good knowing you and I

We breathe the same air

Under the same skies

So close your eyes and breathe

 

* * * *

Lord, can you help me?

Help me deal with this pain

Can you stop all this killing

In your name?

And Lord, if you're out there

You know the whole world is going insane

So can you stop all of this killing

In your name?

Down through the ages, we've all come to learn

Wise men leading the way

So read all the pages in the books from above

But don't get led astray

Down through the ages, we've all come to learn

Wise men leading the way

So read all the pages in the books from above

But don't you get led astray

Lord, are you listening to a prayer from a simple man?

Can you stop all the sadness?

Can you stop all of this madness?

Can you stop all of this killing

In your name?
