Come on in, come see this happy country
And the chains binding your soul
I'll undo them and then you will feel free
See the world from up high
Would you rather find a fright?
No matter what ride you choose
I'll stay by your side and I will serve you
And if you tire of the endless games
There's still some place in here for you
Come rest your eyes in this frozen cradle
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Queen of the land you found yourself in
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Bound by her chains until the fun ends
Before your eyes, on a wooden steed
The sun is eclipsed by utopia
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Even if this world is but a show
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
I'll stay here, even if no one knows
On the carousel, the fun's eternal
As you circle, you're sure to forget your past
Anything that you've wanted in your life
Any wish you have, I'll grant
Just wait in line, circle around like ants
And to your left - no, your right
Come, see the Shadow Parade
Mimic them, and find your way
Keep your eyes on the prize for those who stray
And though the carnival continues
Between dawn and dusk, all sees use
Everything here is meant just for you
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Resembling someone you witnessed in
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
An old memory that's been stretched thin
Two white hands embracing frozen skin then
With the warmth of ice, comforted you
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
The siren conducting paradise
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Is but a dream lasting just one night
Vows were made between two, and broken
Not even for a single day, I loved you
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Queen of the land you found yourself in
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Bound by her chains until the fun ends
Before your eyes, on a wooden steed
The sun is eclipsed by utopia
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
Even if this world is but a show
MADAM MERRY-GO-ROUND, OH
I'll stay here, even if no one knows
Even if you cannot return home
I'm not the one you should blame for your own fate
