There was something beautiful inside which made living life so vivid And colors far too bright but also shelled out a certain sadness which blackened up the night I became a passenger forever on this boardwalk roller coaster with no lever Tracks which click clack, click clack propel me toward my destination There is no turning back The alien operator pilot smiles down at me Up, up, up, how high does this thing go? I never really know. But oh, isn’t the view from up here lovely? And the thought like a carousel spins round and round What goes up, what goes up …What goes up? Must come down! And that alien releases the break I feel A breath inside sears and holds forever round this Tunnel like force of air pushes against me I smile like mad, and grit my teeth I release my hands into the dark reaching out for pleasure, and pain I scream again, again, again! And sometimes how do I get off this thing? Oh no I just keep going Ch-ch-ch up the wooden hills and Down whoosh, the rolling madness Laughing and crying at the beauty and insanity of it all... |
