The alcohol had made him sweat
He had trouble in lighting his cigarette.
He’d spilt his drink so his cuff was wet when she moved on to the floor
CAROUSEL…vermilion nails and a painted face
So young and full of experience
He felt alone till he heard her sing, then it made him want to
Cry — CAROUSEL….
Never in his life had he felt so warm as when she came up to his
Table and touched his chinHe closed his eyes….it almost broke his hearf
He was lying in those sensual arms, when a waiter spotted his
Sleeping form
He shook his dreams, he awoke in pain and was thrown out in the road.
CAROUSEL
Never in his life had he felt so cold as when he bounced
Into the neon outside.
He closed his eyes….it almost broke his heartCAROUSEL!
