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
