I went up in the wheel for the last ride
That October the nights were still warm
Blaring sounds and the smell of spilled liquor
Moving lights all electrical storms
Will you go up there with me?
Will we be changed
Then came a long pause
And I felt the same
I went up in the wheel anyway
Just like graduation day
All the people were saying goodbyes
But you kept your distance and lowered your eyes
Started out moving backwards and upwards
Looking down at the party in lights
From up here I can see all my friends
But they disappear and fall into the night
Then a vision a spectral apparition
Joining my passenger car
Drifting beside me
She lowered the bar
The coaster roared
Somewhere off to our right
And the people screamed
Now aware of their oversight
