I bought a ticket to life, rose-colored eyes
Made a home in halls of mirrors
It was all fun and games, love what I played
But now I see a little clearer
Cotton candy lost its taste and
Now I know why
Popcorn doesn't feel the same and
Neither do I
The more that I see myself, the less that I know about me
Was ridin' the carousel, up and down on a plastic pony
The rise, the wind and I, and kiss of this fading slowly
I got to go find myself, say goodbye to my plastic pony
Pain starts to peel, rest on the wheel
Sadness in the neon letter
Longin' for more, life is too short
Nothin' good can last forever
Cotton candy lost its taste and
Now I know why (now I know why)
Summer nights don't feel the same and
Neither do I
The more that I see myself, the less that I know about me
Was ridin' the carousel, up and down on a plastic pony
The rise, the wind and I, and kiss of this fading slowly
I got to go find myself, say goodbye to my plastic pony
Plastic, plastic, plastic pony
Plastic, plastic, plastic pony
Plastic, plastic, plastic pony
Plastic, plastic, plastic pony
