lyrics

The Ferris wheel is spinning round
Going up & going down
In a place where you never see the sunshine
Somewhere deep down underground

& the skeleton will take your hand
You’ll be dancing to the marching band
You’ll be walking down the alley with the dragon
In a cotton candy – wonderland

Just another shot of Maker’s Mark
Makes the German shepherd bark
& the steam trains rolling after midnight
& the tracks are shining in the dark

& the Ferris wheel is spinning round
Round & round & round & round
Going up & going down
Somewhere deep down underground
The Ferris wheel is spinning round

& the sky is liquefied
Satin steel & cyanide
There’s a long line for the rollercoaster
& the rain is falling from my eyes

See the white feathered pretty dove
Fight the magpies up above
You may want to cross your fingers
& send her all your love

"There’s substance, originality, & cleverness at work here. I admire how these people take something that already exists traditionally & reinterpret it with their own ingredients to create something truly effective that resonates. This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS ... more
