1
"Birds and planes go
2
Through the rainbow
3
Every day though
4
You simply refuse
5
Old-fashioned Ferris Wheels
6
Are no big deal
7
They're just big wheels with chairs
8
So don't be scared
9
Just set yourself free"
10
She tells me it's alright
11
To open up my eyes
12
She holds onto my hand
13
And the clouds float by
14
The couple in the car below
15
They wave to us and say hello
16
I think they understand
17
The way we're feeling
18
I don't need to say 'I love you'
19
When we're floating
20
So far up above
21
Everyone else's lives
22
Are intertwined
23
With yours and mine
24
I hope
25
They find the joy
26
That we have found
27
She tells me it's alright
28
To open up my eyes
29
She holds onto my hand
30
And the clouds race by
31
The couple in the car above
32
I suppose they think
33
That we're in love
34
I think they might be right
35
And without warning when we're almost at the top
36
The wheel that turns us all comes to a sudden stop.
37
The wind that's blown us dies a quick and painless death
38
The air gets clammy and we hold each other's breath
39
We get the feeling that we're not alone in this
40
And then a God who really ought not to exist
41
Sticks out a great big hand
42
And grabs me by the wrist
43
And asks me "why?" and I say
44
"Well God, it's like this
45
It may be arrogance
46
Or just appalling taste
47
But I'd rather use my pain than let it all go to waste
48
On some old god who tells me what I want to hear
49
As if I cannot tell obedience from fear
50
I want to take my pleasures where and how I will,
51
Be they disgraceful or distasteful or distilled
52
And to be frank I find that life has more appeal
53
Without a driver who's asleep behind the wheel"
54
Then God decides that he has taken quite enough
55
Of all this atheistic tosh I'm spouting off
56
And so he calls upon his favorite angel choir
57
To sing of times when men were filled with christian fire
58
But over-zealous angels flap their wings too fast
59
And cause the wind to blow and turn the wheel at last
60
And soon my feet are safely back on solid ground
61
And then I hear a voice say
62
"Don't look down!".
