(Richard Thompson)

[Chorus:]
|
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
|
Oh 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
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
On the wall of death
|
All the world is far from me
|
On the wall of death
|
It's the nearest to being free
|
|
You're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
|
And maybe you're strong
|
But what's the good of ringing a bell
|
The switchback will make you crazy
|
Beware of the hearded lady
|
Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death
|
Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death
|
Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death
|
