"Rollercoaster"

  • Not Synced
    (Guitar)
  • Not Synced
    Rollercoaster,
  • Not Synced
    carousel.
  • Not Synced
    Where the highs are heaven,
  • Not Synced
    but the lows,
  • Not Synced
    oh they can be hell.
  • Not Synced
    You can grab the ring,
  • Not Synced
    you can ring that bell
  • Not Synced
    when the ride is over,
  • Not Synced
    you can never tell.
  • Not Synced
    People tell you this one thing --
  • Not Synced
    will make your life complete.
  • Not Synced
    So you,
  • Not Synced
    you give it everything you got,
  • Not Synced
    and you wind up on the street.
  • Not Synced
    Then one day you wake up,
  • Not Synced
    and they tell you your a queen,
  • Not Synced
    but then you find that someone else
  • Not Synced
    is pulling on the strings.
  • Not Synced
    Rollercoaster,
  • Not Synced
    carousel.
  • Not Synced
    Where the highs are heaven,
  • Not Synced
    but the lows,
  • Not Synced
    oh, they can be hell.
  • Not Synced
    You can grab the ring,
  • Not Synced
    you can ring that bell.
  • Not Synced
    When the ride is over,
  • Not Synced
    you can never tell.
  • Not Synced
    The one you love,
  • Not Synced
    they love you,
  • Not Synced
    oh yeah,
  • Not Synced
    until the end of time.
  • Not Synced
    But lose your edge or lose your cool,
  • Not Synced
    they will drop you like a dime.
  • Not Synced
    Everyone is crowded 'round
    when fortune is your friend,
  • Not Synced
    when your luck is running out,
  • Not Synced
    you're out alone again.
  • Not Synced
    Rollercoaster,
  • Not Synced
    carousel.
  • Not Synced
    Where the highs are heaven
    but the the lows,
  • Not Synced
    oh, they can be hell.
  • Not Synced
    You can grab the ring,
  • Not Synced
    you can ring that bell,
  • Not Synced
    when the ride is over
  • Not Synced
    you can never tell.
  • Not Synced
    Well, maybe I'm just cynical
    and all these words are lies,
  • Not Synced
    but experience keeps telling me
  • Not Synced
    that the cautious one is wise.
  • Not Synced
    But caution makes you hesitate,
  • Not Synced
    and hesitate,
  • Not Synced
    you're lost,
  • Not Synced
    so take your opportunities
    and never count the cost.
  • Not Synced
    Rollercoaster,
  • Not Synced
    carousel.
  • Not Synced
    Where the highs are heaven,
  • Not Synced
    but the lows,
  • Not Synced
    oh, they can be hell.
  • Not Synced
    You can grab the ring,
  • Not Synced
    you can ring that bell,
  • Not Synced
    when the ride is over --
  • Not Synced
    over, over,
  • Not Synced
    you can never, ever tell.
  • Not Synced
    Rollercoaster,
  • Not Synced
    carousel,
  • Not Synced
    rollercoaster,
  • Not Synced
    yeah, yeah, yeah,
  • Not Synced
    carousel.
  • Not Synced
    Carousel,
  • Not Synced
    carousel,
  • Not Synced
    carousel,
  • Not Synced
    carousel.
  • Not Synced

  • I've been listening closely to the lyrics and in my opinion she says "pulling ALL the strings", not "pulling ON the strings".

  • I would say this singing song is worth human's most true appealing for its truth.
