Wall of Death - Nanci Griffith

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

Let me ride on the wall of death one more time

You can waste your time on the other rides

But this is the nearest to being alive

Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house

You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse

The tunnel of love might amuse you

And Noah’s Ark might confuse you but

Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

On the Wall of Death

All the world is far from me

On the Wall of Death

It’s the nearest to being free

Well, you’re going nowhere when you ride on the carousel

And maybe you’re strong, but what’s the use of ringing a bell

The switchback will make you crazy

Beware of the bearded lady

Oh, let me take my chances on the Wall of Death

You are going nowhere when you ride on the carousel

And maybe you’re strong, but what’s the use of ringing a bell

The switchback will make you crazy

Beware of the bearded lady

Let me take my chances

Let me take my chances

Let me take my chances
