Carousel Lyrics

Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Will I catch up to love, I can never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairy tale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel

Come, come one, come all
You must be this tall
To ride this, ride at the carnival

Oh, come take my hand
And run through playland
So high, too high at the carnival

And it's all fun and games
'Til somebody falls in love
But you already bought a ticket
And there's no turning back now

Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Will I catch up to love, I can never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairy tale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel

This horse is too slow
We're always this close
Almost, almost
We're a freak show

Right, right when I'm near
It's like you disappear
Where'd you go?
Mr. Houdini you're a freak show

And it's all fun and games
'Til somebody falls in love
But you already bought a ticket
And there's no turning back now

Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Will I catch up to love, I can never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairy tale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel

Why did you steal my cotton candy heart?
You threw it in this damn coin slot
And now I'm stuck, I'm stuck
Riding, riding, riding

Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go
Will I catch up to love, I can never tell, I know
Chasing after you is like a fairy tale, but I
Feel like I'm glued on tight to this carousel

Melanie Adele Martinez (born April 28, 1995), known professionally as Melanie Martinez, is an American singer, songwriter, music video director, and photographer. Born in Astoria, Queens and raised in Baldwin, New York on Long Island, she first participated in the MSG Varsity Talent Show during her junior year of high school, and subsequently rose to prominence in 2012 after appearing on the American television vocal talent show The Voice. She auditioned singing Britney Spears's Toxic, and made it to the Top 6 before being eliminated in the fifth week of live shows.

Immediately following her departure from the show, she began independent work on original material. Having been a fan favorite, she was heavily supported by fans, and produced her first music video for her single, Dollhouse. Dollhouse is her most successful single to date, having been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Signing to Atlantic Records soon after, she released her debut EP, Dollhouse (2014).

Martinez later released her debut studio album, Cry Baby (2015), which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA. The three singles from the album had been released in the months leading up to the release of the album. Her second studio album is currently in the works and is expected to be released in January 2018.

Martinez is often cited as one of the only major successes of The Voice. Her music mostly revolves around the protagonist of her concept album, Cry Baby, and discusses themes of family disputes, body image, romance, and coming-of-age. She is known for her two-toned hair and her dark lyrics concepts. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
