As time goes by, a center I seek
Around the center I build a solid base
Tethered to the base I fly and I shriek
I do have a net below just in case
Around the center I build a solid base
My Ferris wheel gains great speed
I do have a net below just in case
The sport is dangerous. I do concede
My Ferris wheel gains great speed
The speed is maniacal. I am in a daze
The sport is dangerous. I do concede
It is true. I am certainly a crankcase
The speed is maniacal. I am in a daze
I pray to the force of gravity and freak
It is true. I am certainly a crankcase
I have yet to learn the life’s mystique
I pray to the force of gravity and freak
Tethered to the base I fly and I shriek
I have yet to learn the life’s mystique
As time goes by, a center I seek
