The Night the Carousel Burned Down - Todd Rundgren

Weren’t you there when the carousel burnt down?

The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound

I swear you there when the carousel burnt down

We were all around

The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground

And our heads hung down

And we all left town the next day

The children all cried when the carousel burnt down

The old ladies sighed when the carousel burnt down

The rest of us lied as the carousel burnt down

And the flames did fly

The pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye

As the boiler died

And they melted down the midway

And we all left town the next day

And we all left town the next day (we all left town the very next day)

And we all left town the next day

And we all left town the next day (we all left town the very next day)

And we all left town (we all left town, we all left town, we all left town the

very next day)

The next day
