Carousel

[Verse 1]
Painted smile that never fades
Spinning on my copper stage
While the children point and stare
Round and round

[Pre-chorus]
They turn the key, I start to move
No choice but dance

[Chorus]
Wind me up, watch me spin
Can't stop till the music ends

[Verse 2]
Ma petite bo;te en bois
Les yeux vitreux, je danse pour toi
Dans cette prison musicale
Toujours seule

[Pre-chorus]
The brass gears click, I twirl on cue
Right on command

[Chorus]
Wind me up, watch me spin
Can't stop till the music ends

[Solo]
[Dark cabaret instrumental with mechanical music box sounds]

[Bridge]
Joints are rusting, paint is chipped
Still I dance, still I spin
(Please don't leave me on the shelf)
(I'd rather break than be myself)

[Verse 3]
Time means nothing anymore
Years of dancing, keeping score
While they smile and walk away
All alone

[Pre-chorus]
The spring unwinds, I slow my pace
One final turn

[Chorus]
Wind me up, watch me spin
(Watch her spin, watch her spin)
Wind me up, watch me spin
Can't stop till the music ends
