Skittish Carousel Lyrics

Sittin' on the side in high school
Just don't care and just too cool
So self-sure, so sorry
Graduation comes too soon
Now we're newly sharpened pencils
Waitin' right here to be dulled
We are an ocean of puddles
Separate and unequal
Wiped down and sterilized
Stuck up and terrorized - ooh, ooh, ooh
Peaceful wars waged by logo w____s
There's got to be some more to life
This carousel (c-c-carousel) this carousel

Ticky, ticky, tick-tock take your time
Wiggle, wiggle, watch the world go by
Izzy, izzy, is this all I've done
No more wastin' all my life

And so I went and saw a preacher
And was baptized by a curse
Or perhaps by the spit that flew
From the effort of his words
She flashes me some ivory
And bangs on the ebony - ooh, ooh, ooh
A pulmonary rhythm
With such exquisite melody
No more sittin' on the side now
I can't toe the party line
She punches me in the stomach with a smile
And my life has just begun

Ticky, ticky, tick-tock take your time
Wiggle, wiggle, watch the world go by
Izzy, izzy, is this all I've done
No more wastin' all my life

This carousel (c-c-carousel) this carousel
Ticky, ticky, tick-tock take your time
Wiggle, wiggle, watch the world go by
Izzy, izzy, is this all I've done
No more wastin' all my --
Ticky, ticky, tick-tock take your time
Wiggle, wiggle, watch the world go by
Izzy, izzy, is this all I've done
No more wastin' all my life
No more wastin' all my life
No more wastin' all my life
