Merry Go Round

This Lovibond May Rowanwood song from the Rowanwood music catalogue captures the monotony of daily routine and existential questioning through upbeat pop rock energy and cyclical, reflective lyrics.

Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Aaaaaa-aaaaa
Aaaaaa-aaaaa

Five in the morning
My alarm goes off
I stumble to the kitchen
And drink a cup
I find myself wondering
What’s it all about
This Merry Go Round
This Merry Go Round

Eight in the morning
I punch the clock
Head to my station
To do, I don’t know what
I can’t help but wonder
What’s it all about?
Until I punch out
And I go home

Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Aaaaaa-aaaaa
Aaaaaa-aaaaa

After a shower, a bite to eat
I watch some telly and rub my feet
Off to bed, a chance to dream
Thoughts of work swirl round my brain
I fall asleep around four A M

Flooding Tsunami
Pouring in
Swirling tornado
A driving wind
Hurricanes and wildfires
On the horizon
I’m at my station
Shuddering

Five in the morning
My alarm goes off
I stumble to the kitchen
And drink a cup
I find myself wondering
What’s it all about
This Merry Go Round
This Merry Go Round

Eight in the morning
I punch the clock
Head to my station
To do, I don’t know what
I can’t help but wonder
What’s it all about?
Until I punch out
And I go home

Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Ooooo-ooooo
Aaaaaa-aaaaa
Aaaaaa-aaaaa

After a shower, a bite to eat
I watch some telly and rub my feet
Off to bed, a chance to dream
Thoughts of work swirl round my brain
I fall asleep around four A M

Perhaps this morning
I’ll just sleep in
Load up my car
And start driving
I’ll Point my nose toward
The rising sun
I the hope I’ll find
A bit of fun

Five in the morning
My alarm goes off
I stumble to the kitchen
And drink a cup
I head off to work to do
Who knows what
I find myself wondering
What’s it all about
This Merry Go Round
This Merry Go Round.
