"plastic pony" lyrics

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' a 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 lighter
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' a 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
