I put my feet in hopeful skates
And took a trip into this world
And what did I find?
Faceless is the love around me
Will it ever set me free?

Now I'm going with the crowds
Watching the people move around
And smiling without joy
I never knew I had the heart to act this way
I'm packed into a role that fits

This hectic merry-go-round
That seems to never stop
There goes another winter, another spring
With my dreams and my visions turning pale

You by my clothes and dress me up
Tell me that I'm good enough
To stab myself in the back
Ask me to sit and dine with you
The steak you've fixed to show just what you are

Hey, I only wanna live a life
Where I can choose the road to take
Wanna find something to hold
Something to keep, something to last
Something to hide inside my heart to step out of

This hectic merry-go-round
That seems to never stop
There goes another winter, another spring
With my dreams and my visions turning pale

Which road to choose today
Which way to turn and what to say
I will go and search for jewels
As a hippie, as a diva
I'm sure they all lay
Where the rainbows end
Pink, purple, blue and yellow
Time to go now, my dear fellow

This hectic merry-go-round
That seems to never stop
There goes another winter, another spring
With my dreams and my visions turning pale
