Spin Doctors

Confetti on the floor of the high school gym
boy meets girl and girl meets him
he takes her hand and they dance together
she says, "This is our song,"
and it's theirs forever
This old world is a merry-go-round
with painted horses going up and down
oceans of tears gales of laughter
once in a while someone lives
happily ever after
This world seems cruel at your first glance
look again it's like a dance
once you've had a good long gaze
It seems we all starr in our very own plays
This old is a merry-to-round
with painted horses going up and down
oceans of tears gales of laughter
once in a while someone lives
happily ever after
We grow out of the days like moth-eaten sweater
