R.E.M. - Wall of Death lyrics

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
