Ferris Wheel

Lyrics for Ferris Wheel

Carousel, you ride a purple horse Under the light bulbs bursting In a circle of golden tulips The carousel takes you far from me Way across the sea of parking lots and cars and stars A slice of comets and planets And comets and planets And comets and planets You wear the lipstick of Alaskan spiders Spinning webs like the Ferris wheel rolling behind you Miniature golf is an Alice in Wonderland Ferris wheel takes you high in the sky Above the ocean of parking lots and suburban mermaids You can see their cars made out of seashells And comets and planets And comets and planets And comets and planets So many years ago you broke my heart Under the light bulbs bursting As the roller coaster slammed into me With the words you sing a song I spent the night wandering till the dawn As the Ferris wheel followed me all the way home Rolling like a memory covered in bright lights And comets and planets And comets and planets And comets and planets My friend the lobster takes you down to the harbor My friend the lobster takes you down to the harbor You kiss his lips on his lobster ship Goodbye, watch you sail away
