(Well) It's a mean wicked season and we've
All got a reason just to hit the road
But the highways are closin', the best seats are chosen
And the bags are stowed
There's a fire in the boiler and she's gonna blow
We've all got a ticket to the midnight show
So take your place and wait for mercy in the night
I hope you got your belt on tight
Now you better batten down the hatches
And tighten all the latches
Cause' they're shakin' loose
It's crackin' lightning and thunder from Alaska to Down Under
They're all lighting the fuse
You're runnin' hard for cover but it's hard to get
It's gonna be a wild ride you'll never forget
So take your place and hope for mercy in the night
I hope you got your belt on tight
(You ride tonight, You ride tonight)
You're standing in the fading light
It could be you who rides tonight
I hope you got your belt on tight
(Well) It's a high roller coaster and there
Won't be a boaster 'til we hit the fall
There's one thrill a minute and the whole shebang is in it
'Til we get the call
Cause' there's a fire in the boiler and she's gonna blow
We've all got a ticket to the midnight show
So take your place and wait for mercy in the night
I hope you got your belt on tight
