Merry Go Round
Lyricist:Mary Gauthier, Crit Harmon
From the painful rays of daybreak Ripping darkness out your eyes To every kiss with bourbon breath Your daddy didn't hide, he didn't hide
From the crack of his backhand slap To your mama's blue veined hands That held her rosary desperately 'Cause she didn't understand
From the brokenhearted playground In the lonely afternoon To the violence of little boys And the crying in your bedroom
Till the wind blows right through you and rain don't get you wet Till your lips move constantly but you ain't said nothing yet Till you ride that horse in circles, going up and coming down Round and round, it's a merry go round
From the bitter tears of helplessness Falling from your grandma's face Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com As they strap you to the stretcher While she quickly packs your suitcase
From the money that you stole From her on the day she died To the long lines at the clinic Waiting for a days supply, a days supply
Till the wind blows right through you and rain don't get you wet Till your lips move constantly but you ain't said nothing yet Till you ride that horse in circles, going up and coming down Round and round, it's a merry go round
From the phone booth on the freeway When there's no one left to call To the porcelain cod you pray to In the public restroom stall
From the milky white of heroin As it bubbles and it sooths To the dirty sheets you lie on
