Oh, Carousel (Take Me to the Moon) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh carousel, a twisted ride
Spinning dreams with nowhere to hide
Melodies of madness in the air
In this carnival of chaos, I dare

[Chorus]
Carousel of candy-coated lies
Lost in the mirrored carousel skies
Crybaby tears, painted like a rose
In this carousel of chaos, the story unfolds

[Verse 2]
Round and round, a porcelain dance
In the carnival's trance, taking a chance
Dollhouse illusions, a fractured show
Oh carousel, where secrets grow

[Pre-Chorus]
Spinning tales on the painted floor
A carousel heart, wanting morе
Bubblegum dreams, a carousel's call
In this carnival, shadows fall

[Chorus]
Carousеl of candy-coated lies
Lost in the mirrored carousel skies
Crybaby tears, painted like a rose
In this carousel of chaos, the story unfolds
[Bridge]
Painted ponies in a carousel parade
Carousel whispers, a masquerade
Carousel horses, carousel song
In this carousel world, where we belong

[Verse 3]
Mirror, mirror on the spinning wall
Carousel illusions, enchanting all
Through the twisted rhythm of the night
Oh carousel, a surreal delight

[Pre-Chorus]
Spinning tales on the painted floor
A carousel heart, wanting more
Bubblegum dreams, a carousel's call
In this carnival, shadows fall

[Chorus]
Carousel of candy-coated lies
Lost in the mirrored carousel skies
Crybaby tears, painted like a rose
In this carousel of chaos, the story unfolds

[Outro]
Oh carousel, the music fades
In the hushed whispers of the shades
A carousel journey, a twisted ride
In this carnival of dreams, we'll abide
