A hush was the first word you were taught

and they watched you wear

the clothes they claimed they bought

they brought you down

to watch the merry go, go round



In fall, you knew how much it cost

what troubled all

around your neck and you lost

you wouldn't make a sound

but I could hear your little heart pound

and I watched your feet slip off the ground



Merry go round in dreams

write some down, it seems

when she sleeps, she's free

merry go round in dreams



You wake to another day and find

the wind's blow'in out of key with your sky

only you can see

and the rain danc'in in the night

everybody stands around in daylight



Merry go round in dreams

write some down, it seems

when she sleeps, she's free

merry go round in dreams



And everybody thinks she's sane

she's got two worlds she can be

and she's sad



Hush is the only word you know

and I so pissed me long ago

they ignored me with a smile

you as a child

but just one guy hears your heart pound

and your feet so become part of the ground



Merry go round in dreams

write some down, it seems

when she sleeps, she's free

merry go round in dreams



Merry go round in dreams

Merry go round in me

Merry go round

round and round in me



Merry go round

round and round in me



repeat
