[Verse 1]
If you want the best, wanna be with the blessed
Come on and ride on my merry-go-round
You wasted your money on all of the rest
Come on and ride on my merry-go-round
It doesn't go faster
It isn't that safe
And if there's a problem
There'll be no escape
Oh, half of the horses are stuck on with tape
Ride on my merry-go-round

[Verse 2]
You've ridden the stairs and you're bored of the fair
Come on and ride on my merry-go-round
You're looking for something they can't give you there
Come on and ride on my merry-go-round
Well, you read all the papers
You know what they said
But no one who knows
Will look elsewhere instead
'Cause the real excitement is all in your head
When you ride on my merry-go-round (Let's go)

[Verse 3]
The taller the story, the bigger the dream
The smaller the ghost train, the sadder the scream
But just look at the faces
Of those who have been
Their smiles are bigger
Than you've ever seen
'Cause I am the man, you'll know what I mean
When you ride on my merry-go-round (Yeah)
I am the man and you'll know what I mean
When you ride on my merry-go-round (Yeah)
I am the man and you'll know what I mean
When you ride on my merry-go-round
