SHOUTS AND SCREAMS
FROM CHILDREN OUT AT PLAY
THEY ALL WERE GONE
AS SIRENS FILLED THE DAY

WE'RE FALLING OFF OF THE MERRY GO ROUND

WITHOUT A WARNING
SOMEONE'S GROWING PAINS
LET OUT A SCREAM
THAT LEFT AN AWEFUL STAIN

WE'RE FALLING OFF OF THE MERRY GO ROUND
ASHES, ASHES WE ALL FALL DOWN

SOMEONE CATCH ME I'M SLIPPING
THIS RIDE'S GONE CRAZY
I WON'T LAST
GRAB MY HAND
CAUSE I'M TRIPPING
THIS MERRY GO ROUND IS SPINNING TOO FAST

KIDS GO AWAY
I'VE GOT THINGS TO DO
CAN'T YOUR COMPUTER
FIND LIFE'S ANSWERS FOR YOU?

WE'RE FALLING OFF OF THE MERRY GO ROUND

SEE THE LOSER
ALONE IN THE HALL
WE'D RATHER LAUGH
THAN BE KIND AT ALL

WE'RE FALLING OFF OF THE MERRY GO ROUND
ASHES, ASHES WE ALL FALL DOWN

SHOUTS AND SCREAMS
FROM CHILDREN OUT AT PLAY
THE SKY TURNED BLACK
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY

WE'RE FALLING OFF OF THE MERRY GO ROUND
ASHES, ASHES WE ALL FALL DOWN

WE'RE FALLING OFF OF THE MERRY GO ROUND
ASHES, ASHES WE ALL FALL DEAD
