Rollercoaster

It has been waiting in the distance
In the corners of your mind
Softly calling from the darkness
Come along, don't stay behind

So far away and yet so close
Vague and still immensely high
Bleaky towers full of shades
Pointing at the dark'ning sky

(whisper)
Come ride me
Come ride me
Come ride...
Ride with me

Yet you wait, you fear the heights
The rise and fall, the endless dip
The fear of fear that casts his shadow
Holding you in ruthless grip

You wait until there's no escaping
On you go, towards your fate
Step by step you're moving forward
Passing through the evil gate

(whisper)
Come ride me
Come ride me
Come ride...
Ride with me

Once aboard, your blood is flowing
Gushing to your dizzy head
Rising to the first of pitfalls
In a mix of joy and dread

Ahead you climb, approaching fast
The top of the terror dome
And when you fall, you finally know
The feeling of your coming home

(Loud whisper)
Come ride me
Come ride me
Come ride...
Ride with me
