It’s like I am swinging up high at the fair Then plunging down into the mire Only to find that I’m flying again Freefalling; then up again, higher It’s like I’m a puppet, and somebody else Holds all of the strings to my life And as sure as the tick of the pendulum swings The tock will cut deep like a knife.
I’m out of control. I’ve no grip on my life. I’m scared what tomorrow will bring. Will I spend the day crying, curled up in a ball? Or dancing and wanting to sing? Tossed out on the tide like a discarded toy No point in defying my fate The moon is in charge of the ebb and the flow And all I can do now is wait.
I’ll either wake up on a paradise beach Or pulled down by the maelstrom of terror But the tick and the tock of the pendulum clock Is going to haunt me forever. I’m a ball… a balloon in the hands of a child... A bubble… a yo-yo… a kite… Like Icarus flying too close to the sun I’ll surrender again to the night.
So I’m stuck on this maniac fairground ride Or sucked down in a vortex at sea As the clowns gather round with their painted –on smiles I forget what its like to be me. Clinging on to the rock face of everyday life I desperately try not to fall. When the years have rolled by and my children are old Is this what they’ll look back and recall?
