Merry Go Round


Merry Go Round
Laijon Liu 20190215

merry go round, merry go round
mommy stood by the ticket entrance
daddy stood with me on the platform
that scene has to be forty years ago

merry go round, merry go round
kids rushed onto the platform
they climbed onto the horses,
cars, tanks, planes, and spaceship

there was no seat I could find
there was nothing we could find
the merry music was playing
the platform was rotating

one loop I saw mommy was watching
another loop mommy saw me watching
merry go round, merry go round
me and daddy still looking around

that scene keeps popping on my mind
then and now, goes round and round
mom is on the other side of the globe
and dad is on the another side now

and I am alone at this side, my side
merry go round, merry go round
it goes round like a bad dream
it goes round like an curse never ends

that little sad boy, oh, a poor old dude
just go round, just go round
his mommy still watching
and his daddy still standing
