"Carousels" lyrics - BEIRUT

[Verse 1: Zach Condon]
Carousels twirl all around exited youth
I do not mind at all
We're tonight in a world full of thrills-it can carry me up
Far above it all

[Chorus 1: Zach Condon]
It's a long way down
From here to the sound
Watch the faces go 'round
To the stars then the ground

[Verse 2: Zach Condon]
Ferris wheels carried us away not so long ago
Times I've betrayed
Where would we be now if I had taken your hand?
Well the years they pass by slow don't they?

[Chorus 2: Full Band]
It's a long way down
From here to the sound
Watch the faces go 'round
To the stars then the ground
