Todd Rundgren — The Night the Carousel Burned Down

Weren't you there when the carousel burnt down? The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound I swear you there when the carousel burnt down We were all around The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground And our heads hung down And we all left town the next day The children all cried when the carousel burnt down The old ladies sighed when the carousel burnt down The rest of us lied as the carousel burnt down And the flames did fly The 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 (we all left town the very next day) [Instrumental interlude] And we all left town the next day And we all left town the next day (we all left town the very next day) And we all left town (we all left town, we all left town, we all left town the very next day) The next day
