Sitting here waiting for the world to turn
An earthquake or lightning, somethin' I can burn
I'm reelin' through the night
Lights shining way too bright,
I'm still dizzy from the last roller coaster ride
Oh, life speeds you up
But it also slows you down
Hey it even kind a stops
Before it takes you on another round
And I'm standing in line
Gettin' ready for the next time
To take a ride
On the merry go round of life
Just when you think you're almost there
About to reach the top, floatin' on thin air
You catch a second of that view
It goes by way too soon
And you find yourself at the bottom
Wonderin' what to do
Oh, life speeds you up
But it also slows you down
Hey it even kind of stops
Before it takes you on another round
And I'm standing in line
Gettin' ready for the next time
To take a ride
On the merry go round of life
Live makes you a queen
But it'll steal your crown
As long as you hold on tight
You'll come back around
Oh, life speeds you up
But it'll also slows you down
Hey it even kind of stops
Before it takes you on another round
And I'm standing in line
Gettin ready for the next time
To take a ride
Oh, life speeds you up
But it'll also slows you down
Hey it even kind of stops
Before it takes you on another round
And I'm standing in line
Gettin ready for the next time
To take a ride
On the merry go round of life
To take a ride
On the merry go round of life
Sitting here waiting for the world to turn
