Time To Stop Starting Over Again Poem by KMC Centlivre

Time To Stop Starting Over Again



How’d we get started on this merry-go-round?
Your horse is up
When my horse is down
We keep goin’ ‘round in circles
To the same crazy song
Buy two more tickets and climb right back on

It’s time to stop startin’ over again
It’s time to quit making beginnings from ends
We keep sayin’ goodbye, but we don’t wanna go
We’re getting’ nowhere to fast and somewhere too slow

We tried all the rides that go up and down
Move forwards and backwards and spin you around
That take you heights and then let you fall
We keep movin’ somewhere, but nowhere at all

The carnival barker yelled out “win a prize! ”
We both paid our money and both got three tries
We both got three ringers and won a few rounds
If we just knew that it’s time to quit when you’re down

It’s time to stop startin’ over again
It’s time to quit making beginnings from ends
We keep sayin’ goodbye, but we don’t wanna go
We’re getting’ nowhere to fast and somewhere too slow

(An idea of R. Mastry finished by me - 1994)
