[Verse] She spins on toes in a mirrored room Pink satin ribbons tied tight as a tomb The music plays but her heart’s not in tune [Prechorus] She dreams of tents and a painted sky A carousel calling with horses that fly [Chorus] Carousel ballerina spinning round and round She’s lost in the circus where dreams are unbound With the clowns and the lights and the carnival sound She’s the carousel ballerina spinning round and round [Verse 2] She twirls on stage but her eyes drift away To a sword swallower's daring ballet To a big top life where the lions obey [Prechorus] She sees the colors and the daring leap A trapeze world where her soul can breathe [Chorus] Carousel ballerina spinning round and round She’s lost in the circus where dreams are unbound With the clowns and the lights and the carnival sound She’s the carousel ballerina spinning round and round
