One at a Time

One at a time
It prances round and round
A smile on each little child's face
And shivering parents, hoping that i won't harm them

I slowly walk over
Slowly open the gate
The drunk operator
Doesn't notice me

I press the blue button
The ride comes to a stop
Little children and babies
Jump off their horses

I got for the ones
In the corner of the carriages
The ones cowering from fate
The ones sighing with relief

I grad the littlest one's hand
I pull him from his sanctuary
He cries and he screams
But nobody tries to stop me

I place him on the never ending boat
The one that'll take him down the way
The one that'll tip once I toss a rock at
The one that is the only one

One at a time
