Ride The Roller Coaster

If you wanna ride the roller coaster

You gotta stay on board till the ride is over

You can't get off when you've had your fill

You can't get off when you're up those hills

You can't get off, you gotta stay on board

Hang on tight with your feet on the floor

You can close your eyes, but you see it through

And you wonder when it ends

If you wanna ride the roller coaster

Gotta take the odds

And save for the grace of the gods

First you gotta stand in line

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride the roller coaster

Gotta hang on tight to your composure

Gotta hug the rail till your knuckles go white

Fasten that belt till it's good and tight

You get whipped around like a piece of cord

You can't get off, you gotta stay on board

You get real scared, you go real fast

You go faster, faster, faster

If you wanna ride the roller coaster

Gotta learn to read the curves

Be sure, ever so sure

But first you gotta stand in line

If you wanna ride

Who told you you could get away with

All you get away with is time

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

Ride

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride the roller coaster

Gotta pay the man what he asks for

Move ahead to the back of the bus

Take your seat with the rest of us

Sit on down, enjoy the ride

When it's done now don't you cry

Buy another ticket and wait inside

If you wanna ride again

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

First you gotta stand in line

First you gotta stand in line

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

If you wanna ride

Ride
