[Verse 1]
Children playing with fire and ice
Not aware that they're fed with lies
Falling over when reason dies
And it's a merry-go-round, I find

Down, down it goes, down to the river downstream
Stand tall in a pretty red dress
Make faces with diamonds and pearls and then
Round and round you go round the bend
Round and round you go 'til it ends
[Outro]
The road is empty, the sky is black
Makes no sense to be turning back
Strange behaviour turns to attack
