There’s a house on a corner off Baltimore
And a sign on the front says General Store
But nobody goes there anymore,
Now, do they?
Just the kids that tag the broken boards
On the windows of the General Store
And they get pretty high up on the second floor
Now don’t they?

It’s not the world they wanted to grow up in
It’s not the one their mamas used to know
There was, but there’s not anymore
Any such a thing as a general store
Round and round and round the merry go

There’s a wreck down in the woods below
And it rusted over long ago
But no one needs the Camaro
Now, do they?
Cause there's no longer any road
And the trees have took the pavingstones
And where it went to, no-one knows
Now do they?

It’s not a world that you can settle down in
It’s full of what you catch and can’t quite hold
It’s full of time that’s passing on
Take a picture, then it’s gone
Round and round and round the merry go

There’s a face of someone I can’t find
Watching from behind my eyes
Mirrors never were too kind
Now, were they?
Witching hour has come for me and
Twisted round my teenage dreams
Things are never what they seem
Now, are they?

It’s not the face I wanted to grow old in
It’s not the one my mama used to know
And there was, but there’s not anymore
Any such a thing as a general store
Round and round and round the merry go
Round and round and round the merry go
Round and round and round the merry
