Crimson Carrousel

Up, down--turn around
Play the tune--hear the sound
Buy a ticket--grab a space.
Your thoughts keep twirling
Out of control--where to go?
It looks so tempting--
But, once you start
You must ride'til the very end!
Pull the reins--but still remains
Nothing but a crimson carrousel
And you'll never ride it well!
Can't be quite like your dreams--
It's all a clever disguise.
Try to learn the rhythm if you can
Or do you dare not pay the fare
On that crimson carrousel?
