lyrics

The things in this life that are certain
Are taxes and death and stains on your shirt
The mirror won't give you the answers
So don't stand and stare
Get out of bed where your dreams sink and drown
Get out of your head take a good look around

Life is like an amusement park
Things get strange when it gets dark
The games are all rigged so you might as well go for a ride

You try and you try and you try
You win some, you lose some, you fail...
And you walk empty streets that are not without danger
Since back home you felt like a stranger
You'll never be heard if you don't make a sound
Or hide over where you can't bear to be found

Life is like an amusement park
Things get strange when it gets dark
The games are all rigged so you might as well go for a ride

Now you walk through the valley
Between pleasure and pain
You smile when the wind blows
And all you can do is just laugh at the rain
You wander around the deserted dark ground
Where mysteries go to come slowly unwound

Life is like an amusement park
Things get strange when it gets dark
The games are all rigged so you might as well go for a ride
