Comedians

Roy Orbison
I sat there alone
upon the ferris wheel
A pastel colored carriage
in the air
I thought you'd leave me
dangling for a little while
A silly twist
upon a childish dare
Below I saw you whispering
to another man
Who held the lever
that could bring me down
He'd stop the world from turning
at your command
It's always something cruel
that laughter drowns
And I'm up while the dawn
is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians
<Interlude>
I can hardly hear the music
from the carousel
The wind picks up
the carriage starts sway
As one by one the lights go out
It's closing time
I see you take his hand
and walk away walk away
<Interlude>
They say that you will
always be the last to know
They say that all that
glitters is not gold
It's not just that you're
never coming back to me
It's the bitter way
that I was told
And I'm up while the dawn
is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians
I sat there alone
upon the ferris wheel
A pastel colored carriage
in the air
I thought you'd leave me
dangling for a little while
A silly twist
upon a childish dare
Below I saw you whispering
to another man
Who held the lever
that could bring me down
He'd stop the world from turning
at your command
It's always something cruel
that laughter drowns
And I'm up while the dawn
is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast
To absent friends
Instead of these comedians
<Interlude>
I can hardly hear the music

As one by one the lights go out
It's closing time

To absent friends
Instead of these comedians
ill get better
You'll find work
and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house
and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job
that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking
late at the bar
See more of your friends than
you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you
and me would find it
I got no plans
I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough
so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live
and die this way
