You see i went on the roller coaster last night when i was feeling bad
Down by the sea in santa cruz and i was feeling sad
But we went down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head.
Well, i went on the coaster and my heart was heavy as lead
But we went down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head.
I say whoa-oh-oh, for it knocked me out of my head. let's go...
Hey roller coaster by the sea, thank you for helping me
And roller coaster by the water, made me feel more as i oughtta
Well, you knocked me out of my head
See, i went on a roller coaster last night when i was feelin' bad
We were down by the sea in santa cruz, and i was sadder than sad
But we went down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head.
Hey, when i went on the coaster, my heart was heavy as lead
But we went down, down, and around, and it knocked me out of my head.
Well, it knocked me out of my head.
Hey, roller coaster by the sea, thank you for helping me.
Roller coaster by the water, you made me feel more as i oughtta
Yes, you knocked me out of my head.
