It's a comical yet devastating universe But it's still the kind of universe that I deserve The lipstick on my face has bled into my skin It should show a grin Up from the sky, I won't want you to cry So here's an act for everyone to sneer at So sing along, it's such a silly song The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops The acrobat who's waiting at the top Should do a circus hop! ♪ I shall now accept the fact that I'm a failure (You're a failure) 'Cause I'm still afraid the future might be scarier (It is scarier) I'll slip while having fun and cut off my own tongue They'll think I was dumb! Up from the sky, I won't want you to cry So here's an act for everyone to sneer at So sing along, it's such a silly song The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops The acrobat who's waiting at the top Should do a circus hop! ♪ I've said goodbye, I don't want you to cry So have a laugh with everyone but me So sing along, it's such a silly song The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops The acrobat who fell off from the top They did a little drop! So sing along, it's such a silly song The cackling carousel, it spins and never stops The acrobat who's waiting at the top Should do a circus hop!
