Roundhouse - Ex-Voto

In this house with your distorted views

you watch me rise and you watch me fall again

Going round, going round, going round to the top again

watch me fall, falling down

watch my life shatter on the ground again

on this carousel of love and hate

you reach for the golden ring

just a little too late

a little too late

it’s just a little too late

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Up and down, up and down

Up and down and a round and round again

and if it stops and I fall off

I’m just so dizzy I can hardly walk again

In this house with your distorted views

you watch me rise and you watch me fall again

Going round, going round, going round to the top again

Standing there, you’re laughing loud

you laugh at me

It’s just a little too late

A little too late

Just a little too late

A little too late

If this carousel won’t ever stop

One day I’m just gonna jump off

and leave you here all alone

to ride this carousel on your own

Going round I won’t go no more

I’m out of the roundhouse and through the door

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Round and a round and round the round house

up and down, up and down

Empty carousel no one to ride

you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
