Analysis of Carosel
Round and round
goes the merry-go-round.
Up and down,
goes the merry-go-round.
Circles and circles,
just going around,
Up and down,
the merry-go-round.
I hear the same old sound
as I go round and round;
the broken record
of a merry-go-round.
What have I found
riding the merry-go-round?
A search to get off
life's merry-go-round.
