Hotwire the Ferris Wheel - Jens Lekman, Tracey Thorn

There’s a carnival in town

Walking your dog past the old fairground

From inside we hear screaming and laughter

From roller coasters and merry-go-rounds

Lately you’ve been a wreck

Life called, it wanted its dreams back

I’m here if you want to chat

Or just keep my mouth shut

If you prefer that

The lonely cry of a seagull (You say)

I say, «Let's do something illegal

Let’s get ourselves in trouble

Let’s just live a little»

So when the moon rolled in over the buildings like bowling pins

We climbed over the wired fences

You dropped one of your contact lenses

Past the point of slumbering seals

Up the hill to the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

From up here I can see all the way to the royal palace

Where did you develop those hot-wiring talents?

I say, «My brother was an electrician

But when he was younger he had other ambitions»

I say, «If you’re gonna write a song about this then please don’t make it a sad

song»

You say, «If you’re gonna write a song about this then please don’t make it a

sad song»

I say, «If you’re gonna write a song about this then please don’t make it a sad

song»

I say, «Okay, if I’m gonna write a song about this I promise I won’t make it a

sad song»

You’ll go like this: woo!

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
