On the Ferris Wheel
Who's that said to me hours ago, "Let's go out for a ride
We got far out, and then... I don't know. Something happened inside
All I know is we take this turn, and find our way to the pier
And all the joints we passed by were burnt. But how I ended up here
Drinking this beer...? I don't know. Just keep singing
On the ferris wheel we go 'round and 'round
Singing songs that go up and up, then down
On the pier of steel we get lost 'n' found
both feet off of the ground
Is there somebody I can tell? Is there somebody here
A doc in the house? A fool in the cell? Someone, lend me your ear
Where is here? Where are we right now
I lost my face in the crowd. Someone's spinnin' me. Holy cow
Why's that bell spinning loud? What can this mean? Is it ringing
On the ferris wheel we go 'round and 'round
Slightly back as it lifts us off the ground
All the beer we spill never makes a sound
As it's gravity bound
There's only one problem I cannot deny
Wherever they got 'em, I can never ride the ferris wheel this high. Hello
The ginger baker ran out of cream making domino pie
The taffy bender began to scream, 'though we will never know why. He's twisted
If you say to me, "How do you do?", I don't do very well
But if you do to me how you do do, then we've got something to tell
Everyone else. While they're singing
All way round we go, stomachs letting go. Just look out below. Oh-oh. NO
We'll get off in time. Walk the crooked line. Everything is fine, is it
'Round and 'round we go, but when it stops we know
We both have to go home. Oh, oh, no
Now it's getting slow. Yes, it's swinging low
We both have to go home... with both feet back on the ground
All riders, have your tickets ready
We got far out, and then... I don't know. Something happened inside
All I know is we take this turn, and find our way to the pier
And all the joints we passed by were burnt. But how I ended up here
Drinking this beer...? I don't know. Just keep singing
On the ferris wheel we go 'round and 'round
Singing songs that go up and up, then down
On the pier of steel we get lost 'n' found
both feet off of the ground
Is there somebody I can tell? Is there somebody here
A doc in the house? A fool in the cell? Someone, lend me your ear
Where is here? Where are we right now
I lost my face in the crowd. Someone's spinnin' me. Holy cow
Why's that bell spinning loud? What can this mean? Is it ringing
On the ferris wheel we go 'round and 'round
Slightly back as it lifts us off the ground
All the beer we spill never makes a sound

There's only one problem I cannot deny
Wherever they got 'em, I can never ride the ferris wheel this high. Hello
