Merry Go Round Lyrics by Brinsley Schwarz

Silver Pistol

1972

[Verse 1]
Well, I was standing on a corner, waiting patiently for dawn to break
I was cold, I was hungry and my backbone was starting to ache
Oh, and then I caught sight of light on that corner
And I wondered if I had things straight
Woah, and round, up, down on the merry go round we spin
[Verse 2]
I would get a little higher 'cause I wanna put it all up front
But it's just about as hopeless as a motorway that doesn't run
It's just that when that big fat moon is shimmy-shining
There ain't nowhere else that I can run
Woah, and round, up, down on the merry go round we spin
[Bridge]
Well, you better heed my words
Yeah, let them ring
Be their joy and be their laughter and be thеir singing
And in my house
Let it roll, let it roll
Lеt it roll away these mountains to the sea
Please, blow it all away
Yes and now my love
It will explode, will explode
Will explode and blow this madness all away
Please, blow it all away
[Verse 3]
Well, I've been talking to my friends and they said that it's up to me
But it ain't quite that simple, in fact you know it's plain to see
It's just that if you want to take care of your maybe
First check it out with your used to be
Woah, and go round, up, down on the merry go round
One more down on the silly go round
Round, up, down on the merry go round with me
