Lyrics

CAROUSEL:

Well you told us you deserve something more, with all your gall
And that we deserve less by default
I suppose I ain’t so patient after all
You never even said you “likely won’t live and learn” at all

I heard a clarion call to march alarmed
Later I lay unharmed
Fell from the trickster’s carousel of charms
Luck it don’t stay long 
 Learning and living, my God I must admit I was wrong

Well I guess we’ve grown calluses on our gentlemanly bones
From busting glass with our throwing stones
So tonight when you’re ungrateful and alone
Cursing your crop you’ll find that you’ve let rot all that you’ve sown
