Rollercoaster,
2
30881
4090
00:34
carousel.
3
34971
2060
00:40
Where the highs are heaven,
4
40472
2860
00:43
but the lows,
5
43332
1109
00:44
oh, they can be hell.
6
44441
2589
00:47
You can grab the ring,
7
47030
3776
00:50
you can ring that bell,
8
50806
3435
00:54
when the ride is over,
9
54241
4349
00:58
you can never tell.
10

01:03
People tell you this one thing --
11
63835
3843
01:07
will make your life complete.
12
67678
2683
01:10
So you,
13
70361
1430
01:11
you give it everything you got
14
71791
2537
01:14
and you wind up on the street.
15
74328
3530
01:19
Then one day you wake up,
16
79545
3984
01:23
and they tell you "you're a queen,"
17
83529
3949
01:27
but then you find that someone else
18
87478
3807
01:31
is pulling on the strings.

Rollercoaster,
20
93462
4260
01:37
carousel.
21
97722
2560
01:43
Where the highs are heaven,
22
103008
2817
01:45
but the lows,
23
105825
1076
01:46
oh, they can be hell.
24
106901
2639
01:49
You can grab the ring,
25
109540
3586
01:53
you can ring that bell,
26
113126
3471
01:56
when the ride is over,
27
116597
4264
02:00
you can never tell.
28
120861
2434
02:05
The one you love,
29
125963
1369
02:07
they love you --
30
127332
1049
02:08
oh yeah --
31
128381
1631
02:10
until the end of time.
32
130012
3032
02:13
But lose your edge or lose your cool,
33
133901
2620
02:16
they will drop you like a dime.
34
136521
3832
02:21
Everyone is crowding 'round
35
141538
3962
02:25
when fortune is your friend.
36
145500
3860
02:29
When your luck is running out,
37
149360
3855
02:33
you're all alone again.

02:44
Where the highs are heaven
41
164762

02:47
but the lows,
42
167723

02:48
oh, they can be hell.
43

You can grab the ring,

02:54
you can ring that bell,
45

02:58
when the ride is over
46
178349
4234
03:02
you can never tell.
47
182583
2779
03:07
Well, maybe I'm just cynical,
48
187984
3884
03:11
and all these words are lies,
49
191868
3990
03:15
but experience keeps telling me
50
195858
2791
03:18
that the cautious one is wise.
51
198649
3022
03:23
But caution makes you hesitate,
52
203668
3856
03:27
and hesitate you're lost,
53
207524
3898
03:31
so take your opportunities
54
211422
3907
03:35
and never count the cost.
