Lyrics
All change on then merry go line
All change on the merry-go-round of life.
Everybody looking for a sign
Everyone is searching for a signal or indication.
Jumping up and down when the switch goes on
Excitement and anticipation when the situation changes.
Nobody knows where it's coming from
The source of the change or excitement is unknown.
I'm here watching, keeping well away
Observing from a distance, maintaining a safe distance.
Oh I'm gonna live it in my own way
Determined to live life according to one's own terms.
Singing no mister, not me
Rejecting authority or control with a firm "no."
I'm staying here with guys on free
Choosing to stay with those who are free-spirited.
In deep water
Facing a challenging or risky situation.
I see a captain on a distant shore
Observing a leader or figurehead from a distant place.
He's got a dream, he wants to make it law
The leader has aspirations and aims to establish them as rules.
He's got my number, he's got a plan
The leader is aware of the speaker, has a strategy.
He try to get you any way he can
Attempting to influence or control in any possible way.
Wants to own everything he sees
The leader desires ownership of everything in sight.
While I'm here, well he ain't with me
The speaker remains unaffected while the leader is not around.
Singing no mister, no way
Resolute refusal to be under someone else's control.
I got my own deep water
Declaring possession of one's own challenging situation.
Deep, deep water
Emphasizing the depth or intensity of the challenging situation.
