Carrousel

Orbiting a pole is it's sole function
I have yet to determine a purpose
   The bedazzle causes the children to run
But the idea, I can't quite interpret 

   A merry go round would suit just fine
No need for heads or tails
   No creepy eyes staring in to mine
No music, whistles or bells

   It defies reason, if your thinking logically
With Lions, tigers and bears
   This haunted contraption forever taunts me
My nightmares begin at the fair

   Rusting gold and chipped paint
Up, down and around
   You may take a spin, but I feel faint
With the tune of a devilish sound

   Clowns are usually a package deal
When this sinister circle's in motion
   Not bothered too much by their wicked appeal
Only this revolving locomotion
