Nailed to the Ferris Wheel Lyrics


Look how it turns around

Step on the fairground

Carts on the stainless steel

Go ride my ferris wheel

Good evening m’am, Good evening sir

So glad you've come to me

Oh, may I ask, how’d I deserve

Oh, such a company?

I'm glad that I have found

A pair of you around

I've been depressed, I've looked inside

And look what I have found

I'll build a piece of art

And you will be its part

I'm nailing you to a broken wheel

To fix my broken heart

Screaming as it turns around

Bleeding on the fairground

Flesh on the stainless steel

Nailed to the ferris wheel

The fair is closed, The circus - burned

Along with the trampoline

And who am I: a tortured soul

Or just a drama queen?

My wheel is turning fast

I'm not going to last

And every minute of my life

Is tainted by my past

This symbol is displaying

A life that I had failed

I want to leave behind me something

Something that I've nailed

Screaming as it turns around

Bleeding on the fairground

Flesh on the stainless steel

Nailed to the ferris wheel

Shattered my mind!

Left me behind!

Is your ringmaster

Dying tonight?

Listen to this!

The final piece!

Let your ringmaster

Finally die in peace...

I want to make my dreams come true

And from this premise comes the rest

I tried so hard and failed hard

Doing my sincere best

To be a man I want to be

And knowing that I never will

The closest to a fair chance

Is spinning the samsara wheel

I wonder why, I wonder why

You beg to let you die

I wonder if, I wonder if

You do not want to live

To hell with your opinions

It is the work of genius

A monument to a failed life

Is not for your convenience

I could just let you free

But I want you to see

That I will never die alone

I'm taking you with me

Screaming as it turns around

Bleeding on the fairground

Flesh on the stainless steel

Nailed to the ferris wheel
