Nanci Griffith - Wall Of Death lyrics

WALL OF DEATH

(Richard Thompson)

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

You can waste your time on the other rides

But this is the nearest to being alive

Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death

You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house

You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse

The tunnel of love might amuse you

And Noah's Ark might confuse you

But let me take my chances on the wall of death

On the wall of death

All the world is far from me

On the wall of death

It's the nearest to being free

You're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel

And maybe you're strong

But what's the good of ringing a bell

The switchback will make you crazy

Beware of the bearded lady

Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

You can waste your time on the other rides

But this is the nearest to being alive

Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death

Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death

Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death
