Todos los domingos me iba a la ciudad
Y los chocolates para ir a escalar
La montaña rusa, la estrella polar
Los carritos locos, todo un paraíso de metal.
Me iba a la laguna para navegar
Con los botecitos en el mismo lugar;
Magos y payasos, ganas de volar
Con los avioncitos de Jalisco Park.
Todo daba vueltas como el carrusel
Y todos mis amigos girando con él.
Y pasé mi infancia en aquel rincón
En los aparatos buscaba una razón
Por eso la vida sólo me enseñó
A través del parque lo que nos pasó.
A la montaña rusa la quisieron descarrilar
Con todas las calumnias de la patria potestad
Luego a mi amiguito el padre se lo llevó
A montar el barquito y nunca regresó.
Todo daba vueltas como el carrusel
Y todos sus amigos lloramos por él.
Un día jugando no supe por qué
En el 67 mataron al Che,
Así giró su historia como el carrusel
Y la soñada idea de ser como él.
Después el pelo largo, la moda y la confusión
Llegamos al 70 con el sueño del millón
Así surgió aquel loco que primero nadie entendió
Diciendo cosas raras como en aquella canción:
"la era está pariendo un corazón
No puede más se muere de dolor".
Ha pasado el tiempo y sólo quedan ya
Aparatos muertos puestos a girar
Y aunque no fui payaso, ni mago, ni aviador
Sigo dando vueltas sin pensar quien soy.
Y así tengo enemigos que me quieren descarrilar
Haciéndome la guerra porque me puse a cantar
Pero pongo la historia por encima de su razón
Y sé con qué canciones quiero hacer revolución
Aunque me quede sin voz, aunque no me vengan a escuchar
Aunque me dejen solo, como a Jalisco Park.
