Flying Merry-Go-Round

(album: Cosmic Cowboy - 1978)

We took a journey through a swirling pool
Spinning around in space
We got to thinking that it sure was cool
Called us the human race

Turning 'round and 'round and 'round
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
Going 'round and 'round and 'round
She's a flying merry-go-round
Such a lovely merry-go-round
(Merry-go-round)

The very first couple got to fooling around
Broke the life support system down
Whatever we did or however we tried
Everybody started to die

Turning 'round and 'round and 'round
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
Going 'round and 'round and 'round
She's a flying merry-go-round
Such a lovely merry-go-round
(Merry-go-round)

The Builder / Designer had to come on board
Mending the broken day
The life support system now has been restored
He's taken the death away
He's taken the death away

Turning 'round and 'round and 'round
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
Going 'round and 'round and 'round
She's a flying merry-go-round
Such a lovely merry-go-round
A highflying merry-go-round
