round and round and round

we go

when we stop

no one knows

Hurry, hurry

Claim your spot

unless you want

to be called out

The song is playing

a love tune

Ain't it ironic

when you're alone?

You see the one

you want to claim

It beckons you

and calls your name

Closer, closer

you come to it

euphoria will

be experienced

The senses heighten

the song will end

could it be true

that you will win?

A sudden pause

the music stops

you weren't ready

your jaw drops

You pause to blink

it becomes blatant

That all the good ones

have been taken
