Gunmen's Carousel

I went looking for a singer that I’d known throughout my youth

And I heard no one could find him, it just wasn't any use

Call your search off I was told

Hear the tolling of the bell

The singer that you want now rides the gunmen's carousel

Famous names and unknown faces ride the carousel all day

Cause the fare’s a free for all when the gunmen have their way

Watch your step now

Choose your mount

Rings the tolling of the bell

Making room for more riders on the gunmen's carousel

Carousel

Goes round and round

Carousel

Is nowhere bound

Rider’s voices lose their sound

Singin’ nothing where nothin’s found

Gone forever to a gun

On the darkest ride in town

A fog surrounds the carousel, no one can see or hear

Those who cry in desperation  "This fog is only fear"

Free the horses

Drop the guns

Stop the tolling of this bell

The finger points to you who run

The finger points to you who run

The finger points to you who run the gunmen's carousel.
