Ferris Wheel

nobody's out on the dance floor
it's Friday night at your favourite bar
you sit there drinking your whisky and cola
thinking i used to be so much older'
but in your head you're still no 32
these woman they're not too young for you
you fancy taking some chances
but no none's throwing you any glances

you're working some shit nine to five
wondering what the hell's happened to your life
still living in the same neighbourhood
still doing what mama told you to
so go on smoke another cigarette
and get the facts sorted in your head
it's that you're not going anywhere
and yeah, life is never fair
it's never fair

cause when the world turned like a ferris wheel
you forgot to step inside
now you wonder why nothing's happening round here
take a right good look at your life from here

Monday morning you'll be staying home
not in no mood to pick up the phone
not going out into no treadmill
because you've got no more time to kill
not going back to the places you've been
say goodbye to these streets my friend
you're through with living for someone else
drop the keys go please yourself

dead on your feet but you gotta go
fall on your face well you'll never know
still better than the same old thing
that's sure to kill you in the end
in the end

cause when the world turned like a ferris wheel
you forgot to step inside
now you wonder why nothing's happening round here
take a right good look at your life from up there
when the world turns like a ferris wheel
well you've got to step inside
now you wonder why something's happening round here
take a right good look at your life from here
