words and music (c) 2004 by Stan Made
So you've had your ups and downs
You've been lied to at times you've been told the truth
You've sat on your bed shaking your head
While many men walked back out your door unmoved
Just keep on riding on this merry-go-around now
I won't be far in case you hit the ground
What goes up is gonna come on down
Someday we'll hit it up and tear it down
Now keep writing into your diary
About the disappointing nights at the fair
When nothing seems to fit, nobody feels like a hit
You wanna go home to sleep with someone waiting there
Just keep on riding on this merry-go-around now
I won't be far in case you hit the ground
What goes up is gonna come on down
Someday we'll hit it up and tear it down
Now take your time but don't waste your life away
Just step back on out of this spinning wheel's way
You think that getting thrown is like leaping off a bridge
But I'll be soaring beside you then to promise you this
Just keep believing in new beginnings
All the while our heads keep spinning
Drawing little circles around the sweet core
Spinning and spinning out of control
Fall into me... whenever you're mad
Fall into me... just like that
Fall into me... instead of dropping dead
Just fall into me if you think you're going too fast
Just keep on riding on this merry-go-around now
I won't be far in case you hit the ground
What goes up is gonna come on down
Someday we'll hit it up and tear it down
Just keep on riding on this merry-go-around now
I won't be far in case you hit the ground now
When something blows up the dust will settle down
We'll set the charges and blow the merry-go-around
