Lyrics
THE RIDE
Give me the fireworks
Don?t leave my hanging on ? with mere words
Cause I need a thrill ride
Scoff at my dying wish to get me high
There?s no other way ? it?s the price I?ve paid
So my future?s all but spent
My time?s been allotted
Now nothing seems shocking
And life? I just mock it
I?ll ride the Triprocket
Got my candle burnin? ? at both ends
Laugh at the gift of life becoming dim
I see a bright light
And it?s runnin? me right over on this closed turnpike
Can you feel that touch that shakes your soul
It?s a game played out and my bet?s grown cold
My time?s been allotted
Now nothing seems shocking
And life? I just mock it
Go ride the Triprocket
My days have been numbered
There?s no time for slumber
My life? I just mock it
I?ll ride the Triprocket
