Stephin Merritt - In My Secret Place lyrics

Time swings like a wrecking ball into things Youth fades as quickly as a hit parade But as the days go by in the gray world outside Days grow on colorful trees In my secret place, in my secret place They'll sell you tickets for their carousel don't pay They'll get your money either way You can go up and go down you can go round and round But there's a better fairground In my secret place, in my secret place
