[Intro | Bursting Energy | Breathless Chest Delivery | Calliope Stabs + Snare Pickup] One ticket Then another Then another What else have you got? [Verse 1 | Racing Energy | Quick Chest Phrasing | Bass Run + Carnival Piano] First I take the tower to the top Brooklyn shrinking underneath For three whole seconds I'm certain This is who I'm meant to be Then the floor gives way beneath me Every thought shoots through my head I come down laughing, knees unsteady Half convinced I might be sick [Pre-Chorus | Accelerating Energy | Rising Mix Delivery | Snare Build + Brass Jabs] Maybe fear looks good on me Maybe speed is what I need Maybe if my stomach turns That's proof I've found something [Chorus | Explosive Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + Carnival Brass] Coney Island Give me something I can try on Put me upside down and sideways Let me see which one survives Coney Island I can be a hundred women If I keep the whole thing moving Maybe one of them is me [Post-Chorus | Frenetic Energy | Tight Hook Chant | Handclaps + Brass Hits] Next ride Next line New face Maybe mine [Verse 2 | Racing Energy | Quick Chest Phrasing | Guitar Chops + Bumper-Car Percussion] In the bumper cars I pick one stranger Blue car, number twenty-three I hit her once, then hunt her down Like this somehow has a meaning She laughs each time I ram the corner I don't know why I need to win By the fourth collision I'm committed To a fight I never entered in [Pre-Chorus | Accelerating Energy | Rising Mix Delivery | Snare Build + Piano Climb] Maybe spite looks good on me Maybe that's a useful clue Maybe wanting something badly Means the wanting must be true [Chorus | Explosive Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + Carnival Brass] Coney Island Give me something I can try on Put me upside down and sideways Let me see which one survives Coney Island I can be a hundred women If I keep the whole thing moving Maybe one of them is me [Verse 3 | Unstable Energy | Breathless Mix Delivery | Roller-Coaster Drums + String Runs] Then the coaster starts its climb Click by click above the beach I tell myself I love the height Right until the highest piece Then we're falling, then I'm flying Then I'm laughing, then I'm green Somewhere between thrilled and terrified I think, "This feels a lot like me" [Bridge | Warped Energy | Half-Spoken Delivery | Detuned Piano + Crooked Waltz Drums] The funhouse gives me twelve reflections Tall one, short one, bent in two One looks almost sophisticated One looks like she knows what to do I don't recognize a single one But that's not really new I don't know the girl in normal glass So maybe I can pick one here I'll take the one with longer legs Or maybe her with shoulders wide Maybe identity is choosing Which distortion gets to come outside [Breakdown | Chaotic Energy | Rapid Chest Delivery | Drum Stops + Calliope Bursts] Cotton candy Photo booth Shoot the target Tell the truth Ferris wheel Another game Try a jacket Try a name I could learn trapeze Buy red boots Cut my hair Join a troupe Take the train Come back again Start at one Then count to ten [Chorus | Peak Energy | Full Belt + Layered Counterlines | Full Drums + Brass Surge] Coney Island Give me everything to try on Turn me inside out and sideways I'll decide what feels alive Coney Island I can be a hundred women Keep the gates from ever closing I need something else to try [Outro | Breathless Energy | Close Chest Delivery | Carnival Piano + Abrupt Stops] One more ride Then I'll know One more ride Then I'll know One more— [End]
