Carousel Lyrics by Skittish

Tragedy of the Commons

0

Sitting on the side in high school
Just don't care and just too cool
So self-sure
So sorry
Graduation comes too soon

Now we're newly-sharpened pencils
Waiting right here to be dulled
We are an ocean of puddles
Separate and unequal

Wiped down, sterilized
Stuck-up, terrorized
Peaceful wars
Waged by logo whores
There's got to be some more to life
Than this carousel
C-c-carousel
This carousel

Ticky-ticky-tick-tock
Take your timе
We could we could
Watch the world go by
Izzy-izzy-is this all I'vе done?
No more wasting all my life

And so I went and saw a preacher
And was baptized by a curse
Or perhaps by the spit that flew
From the effort of his words

She flashes me some ivory
Bangs on the ebony
A pulmonary rhythm
With such exquisite melody

No more sitting on the sides now
I can't toe the party line
She punches me in the stomach with her smile
And my life has just begun

Ticky-ticky-tick-tock
Take your time
We could we could
Watch the world go by
Izzy-izzy-is this all I've done?
No more wasting all my life

(doo dah doo dah doo dah)
(spin, spin)
(dah doo dah doo dah weee-ee-ooo)
(spin, spin)

On this carousel
C-c-carousel
This carousel

Ticky-ticky-tick-tock
Take your time
We could we could
Watch the world go by
Izzy-izzy-is this all I've done?
No more wasting all my-

Ticky-ticky-tick-tock
Take your time
We could we could
Watch the world go by
Izzy-izzy-is this all I've done?
No more wasting all my life
No more wasting all my life
No more wasting all my life
