How many times on this marry-go-round   Over and over again   Up on the horse was a weak foolish child   Never believed it would end      How many smokes   'Til I'm satisfied?   How many dreams 'til I'm happy?   How much of the day   Will I watch fade away   'Til there is no one to ask me?      I was gone   So gone   Gone so gone   For a while      How many times will I sleep by your side?   Turning and dreaming and scared   A fairground that’s shut down   As you ride away   My horse won’t go anywhere      I was gone   So gone   Gone so gone   For a while      I was wrong   So wrong   Wrong so wrong   For a while      How many songs will I try to write   All with the same thing to say?   I've got two tickets left   Won't you please stay with me?   The very last ride of the day
