The Night The Carousel Burned Down

Weren't you there when the carousel burned down
The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound
I swear you were there when the carousel burned down
We were all aroundThe rings charred and tarnished all over the ground
And the heads hung down
And we all left town the next dayThe children all cried when the carousel burned down
The old ladies sighed and the carousel burned down
The rest of us lied as the carousel burned down
And the flames did flyThe pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye
As the boiler died
And they melted down the midway
And we all left town the next day
And we all left town the next day
