Rollercoaster, carousel.
0:39
Where the highs are heaven, but the lows, oh, they can be hell.
0:46
You can grab the ring, you can ring that bell,
0:53
when the ride is over, you can never tell.
1:03
People tell you this one thing — will make your life complete.
1:09
So you, you give it everything you got and you wind up on the street. Then one day you wake up,
1:22
and they tell you "you're a queen,"
1:26
but then you find that someone else is pulling on the strings.
1:32
Rollercoaster, carousel.
1:42
Where the highs are heaven, but the lows, oh, they can be hell.
1:48
You can grab the ring, you can ring that bell,
1:55
when the ride is over, you can never tell.
2:05
The one you love, they love you — oh yeah — until the end of time.
2:13
But lose your edge or lose your cool, they will drop you like a dime.
2:20
Everyone is crowding 'round when fortune is your friend.
2:28
When your luck is running out, you're all alone again.
2:34
Rollercoaster, carousel.
2:43
Where the highs are heaven but the lows, oh, they can be hell.
2:50
You can grab the ring, you can ring that bell, when the ride is over you can never tell.
3:07
Well, maybe I'm just cynical, and all these words are lies,
3:15
but experience keeps telling me that the cautious one is wise.
3:22
But caution makes you hesitate, and hesitate you're lost,
3:30
so take your opportunities and never count the cost.
3:36
Rollercoaster, carousel. Where the highs are heaven, but the lows, oh, they can be hell.
3:52
You can grab the ring, you can ring that bell,
3:59
when the ride is over — over, over, you can never, ever tell.
4:07
Rollercoaster, carousel, rollercoaster, yeah, yeah, yeah, carousel. Carousel, carousel, carousel, carousel.

Thank you.
