[00:09.27]
[00:15.76]
[00:21.15] I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel
[00:27.34] A pastel colored carriage in the air
[00:33.63] I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while
[00:39.91] A silly twist upon a childish dare
[00:46.10] Below I saw you whispering to another man
[00:52.48] Who held the lever that could bring me down
[00:58.77] He'd stop the world from turning at your command
[01:05.06] It's always something cruel that laughter drowns
[01:11.35] And I'm up while the dawn is breaking
[01:14.83] Even though my heart is aching
[01:17.93] I should be drinking a toast to absent friends
[01:26.21] Instead of these comedians
[01:48.86] I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
[01:55.25] The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway
[02:01.53] As one by one the lights go out, it's closing time
[02:07.81] I see you take his hand and walk away, walk away
[02:33.06] They say that you will always be the last to know
[02:39.26] They say that all that glitters is not gold
[02:45.53] It's not just that you're never coming back to me
[02:52.22] It's the bitter way that I was told
[02:57.80] And I'm up while the dawn is breaking
[03:01.59] Even though my heart is aching
[03:04.79] I should be drinking a toast to absent friends
[03:13.07] Instead of these comedians
