the thrill


the thrill

the thrill
of the ride
getting there
standing in line
all of the cheers
and sites and sounds
all around
all around
the thumping of the ride
as it stops to let us on
and the clamoring
of them all
jumping inside
just to ride
just to ride
the kick as it starts
getting off and
up to speed
climbing so high
so high for us to see
and the quite as it stops
in anticipation of the rush
and all of
the screams
and screams
and screams
as we thrust
our hands
up high
rushing down
rushing down
rushing down
sweeping around
sweeping around
sweeping around
climbing up rushing down
rushing all around
rushing left
rushing right
rushing upside down
rushing over the crowd
screaming so loud
rushing over water
rushing through blue skies
rushing ahead of the others
rushing all the time
the clattering
to the end of the ride
for a thumping stop
just to ride again
oh how i need
the thrill
of
the ride
