[Intro, Upbeat blues rock bass groove leads the way. Bright guitar accents, punchy drums, windows-down night-drive energy.] [Verse] Headlights rolling down the boulevard Radio blasting like a shooting star Ocean air coming through the window Santa Monica lights in the dark Neon dancing on the avenue Every little light encircles you Pull in close, lean into the good times Tonight we're leaving all our cares behind [Pre-Chorus] Round and round The whole world turns Hold me close And let it burn [Chorus] Up on the Ferris wheel Tell me what you really feel The whole world’s turning down below Baby, don’t let go Up on the Ferris wheel Everything we begin to feel Like the night was made for two And I’m falling into you Up on the Ferris wheel [Verse] Bright lights, cotton candy, music in the air Your hair blowing everywhere Laughing as we run beneath the lights Making more than little memories tonight Down by the water, shadows come and go Moonlight popping that Pacific glow You pull me closer, I forget my name Every turn we take is just apart of the game [Pre-Chorus] Round and round The whole world turns Hold me close And let it burn [Chorus] Up on the Ferris wheel Tell me what you really feel The whole world’s turning down below Baby, don’t let go Up on the Ferris wheel Everything we begin to feel Like the night was made for two And I’m falling into you Up on the Ferris wheel [Guitar Break, Short, catchy blues-rock lead over the driving bass groove, The guitar phrase rises, circles, and repeats like the motion of the Ferris wheel, finishing with a bright melodic hook that drops back into the groove] [Verse] Morning’s still a long way off We’re not ready for the night to end One more ride and one more kiss One more little moment just like this When the lights go dark and the crowds go home We’ll still have the road and the radio Santa Monica fading in the mirror And I’ll keep you close my dear [Breakdown] Round and round Don’t let go City lights Down below Round and round All night long Keep the radio playing Keep the feeling strong [FINAL CHORUS] Up on the Ferris wheel Tell me what you really feel The whole world’s turning down below Baby, don’t let go Up on the Ferris wheel Everything we begin to feel Like the night was made for two And I’m falling into you Up on the Ferris wheel We can make the moment real Let the Pacific roll below Baby, don’t let go Up on the Ferris wheel [Outro, Driving bass and ringing guitars continue as the vocal repeats the hook. Final guitar bend, cymbal choke, and one last bass hit]
