Ferris Wheel Ghosts

[Verse 1] At the gate, the paint is peeling Steel clowns grin with dead red eyes Ticket tears in your palm like confetti Every booth hums, "Come inside" Tiny hands on the prize wall shaking Blinking bears with a frozen stare I smell ozone on the candy apples And somebody's breathing air [Pre-Chorus] The music box starts up slow Then the whole place leans Every little screen goes black And it calls your name through me [Chorus] Ride, ride, ride for me Ferris wheel ghosts Spin, spin, spin with me Don't let go Ride, ride, ride for me Hear the rusted choir sing Ferris wheel ghosts Got their hands on everything [Verse 2] Tunnel mouth under painted banners Melted mirrors, cracked in twos In the funhouse glass, my shadow Keeps its eyes on you A robot bride in a silver veil Stands still by the bumper cars When she turns, her joints go laughing Like keys dragged hard on bars [Pre-Chorus] The music box starts up slow Then the whole place leans Every little screen goes black And it calls your name through me [Chorus] Ride, ride, ride for me Ferris wheel ghosts Spin, spin, spin with me Don't let go Ride, ride, ride for me Hear the rusted choir sing Ferris wheel ghosts Got their hands on everything [Bridge] The carousel remembers faces But it swaps them out by dawn One by one, the bears go missing And the men in masks are gone I hear laughter in the generator I feel cold in the plush parade If you run, the doors keep opening If you stay, you get remade [Break] Oh-oh, round and round Oh-oh, underground Oh-oh, say my name Oh-oh, stay [Final Chorus] Ride, ride, ride for me Ferris wheel ghosts Spin, spin, spin with me Don't let go Ride, ride, ride for me Hear the rusted choir sing Ferris wheel ghosts Got their hands on everything Ride, ride, ride for me Till the morning breaks Spin, spin, spin with me Till the metal shakes Ride, ride, ride for me Now the whole dark park knows Ferris wheel ghosts Never let you go
