Golden Pony

I was broken in when I was young
To a town of fame, plastic and party drugs
Staring at the carousel all along
Wondering when I'd be tall enough to get on

To get on

Five dollars for a five minute ride
Is it really worth that much to get high?
It's never gonna be like the first time
You go round

Keep on riding that
Golden pony for as long as you can
Be the one and only cowboy left standing
When you're riding that
Golden pony
It gets pretty lonely
But you'll be treated like you're holy
In this land
So keep on riding till you can't

Till you can't

There was this one girl who wouldn't get off
She spun so fast till she dropped
The ride makes you feel like you're going somewhere
You're just spinning in circles through the air

Through the air

Five dollars for a five minute ride
Some people they wait in line all their lives
Most folks get bucked right off of the horse
The lights keep shining till the music warps
(Whoa!)

Keep on riding that
Golden pony for as long as you can (for as long as you can)
Be the one and only cowboy left standing
When you're riding that
Golden pony
It gets pretty lonely (so goddamn lonely)
But you'll be treated like you're holy
In this land
So keep on riding till you can't

Till you can't
