This Ride
Sometimes when I wander
I think back to all the times
You smiled at me with your golden eyes
And all the times
You frowned at me with your brown brown eyes
Those times
All those times
They're like my own personal roller coaster ride
When I want to go up
I think about the gold
The sun
The miners in the water
But when I want to go down
I think about that deep deep brown
The mud on a rainy day
The bottom of an ocean floor
And the feeling I get
From way up high to
Way down low
Makes my stomach lurch and my heart bellow
I want to stay on this ride
I want to know what it's like to ride in the rain
To ride in the thunder and the light light lightning
I want to know what it's like to ride upside down and
Side to side
I want to know what it's like to feel weightless and then suddenly full of weight
I don't want to get off
But I don't have enough money to stay
And I don't want to pay the fee
So you say goodbye
And I hold on to the memories I have
Deep deep down
Inside of the brown
Watching the golden sun frown.
