Hotwire The Ferris Wheel Lyrics - Jens Lekman

There's a carnival in town 

Walking your dog past the old fairground 

From inside we hear screaming and laughter 

From roller coasters and merry-go-rounds 

Lately you've been a wreck 

Life called, it wanted its dreams back 

I'm here if you want to chat 

Or just keep my mouth shut 

If you prefer that 

The lonely cry of a seagull (You say) 

I say, "Let's do something illegal 

Let's get ourselves in trouble 

Let's just live a little 

So when the moon rolled in over the buildings like bowling pins 

We climbed over the wired fences 

You dropped one of your contact lenses 

Past the point of slumbering seals 

Up the hill to the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

From up here I can see all the way to the royal palace 

Where did you develop those hot-wiring talents? 

I say, "My brother was an electrician 

But when he was younger he had other ambitions" 

I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad song" 

You say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad song" 

I say, "If you're gonna write a song about this then please don't make it a sad song" 

I say, "Okay, if I'm gonna write a song about this I promise I won't make it a sad song" 

You'll go like this: woo! 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel 

Hot-wire the Ferris wheel
