Say good-bye to your twenties
|
Tomorrow is the "Big 3-0"
|
For my birthday present
|
I've got a place where we can go
|
It's a lesson in motion
|
To ride the wildest ride
|
We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster
|
And look down the other side
|
|
So let me ride in the front car
|
And you ride right behind
|
And I'll click my snapshot camera
|
At exactly the right time
|
Shoot back over my shoulder
|
Catch the fear no one can hide
|
When we tip the top of the roller coaster
|
And look down the other side
|
Over the hill
|
|
So when the prints come back
|
We can look at that unmistakable birthday fear
|
Like your younger days are over now
|
And its all down hill from here
|
|
It was a happy birthday
|
You surprised us all
|
So take a look at this glossy picture
|
I framed it for your wall
|
It's the moment of truth
|
It's the top of your youth
|
The camera don't lie
|
You might be screaming
|
But there's a meaning
|
In the laughter in your eyes
|
It seems to be saying
|
"Of coarse there will be fear"
|
But this is why we stand in line
|
Spend that time
|
Make that climb
|
To finally feel the other side
|
And it's all down hill from here
|
|
We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster
|
And look down the other side
|
|
