My Rollercoaster

you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday

it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane

what is it about you that has commandeered my brain?

maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way

when I look at your face I can tell that you're not

going to be stopping soon or even slowing down

and if we keep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the

name of every kid and every grown up booking house

shows in their town

and if home is really where the heart is

then wer're the smartest kids I know

because wherever we are in this great big world

we'll never be more than a few hours from home

and that's important because I need to travel

I've had this itchin in my shoes since I was just a

little kid

and before I had a mini van I road the Greyhound bus

my mom would say "I hope some day you get paid for

being Kimya Dawson"

and now I do and it's not much

but it's enough

I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good

friends and family

and now there's you understanding why I do the things

I do

knowing that you do them too makes me really happy

on the road again

just can't wait to get on the road again

the life I love is makin' music with my friends

and I can't wait to get on the road again

on the road again

just can't wait to get on the road again

the life I love is makin' music with my friends

and I can't wait to get on the road again

from a distance, the world looks blue and green

and the snow capped mountains white

from a distance, the ocean meets the stream

and the eagle takes to flight

(whispered)

Darkness imprisoning me

All that I see

Absolute horror

I cannot live

I cannot die

Trapped in myself

Body my holding cell

do do do do do do do

do do do do do do do

do do do do do do do

do do do do do do do

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be do do do do do do

I'll be the greatest man of your life

'cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes

and playing video games in the middle of the night

and I'll stay up late and I wont even care

that we're getting up early to go to the state fair

I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight

then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd

like

because we are alive so we've gotta live life

to the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the

lights

four five six seven minutes in the closet

you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday

it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane

what is it about you that has commandeered my brain?

maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way

you go straight to the top you're not scared of

getting squashed

you know just when to jump off

you're so brave

and then you run to the right it seems there's no hope

in sight

and you drop down to the tube that takes you right to

level eight

life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it

every day's a winding road yeah

my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs

as long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable

life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it

every day's a winding road yeah

my rollercoaster's got the biggest ups and downs

as long as it keeps goin' round its unbelievable
