Lyrics Ferris Wheel on Fire - 1993 - Neutral Milk Hotel

Well now, first of all
We became what we always had feared
Every engine holds
All their oils on fire appeared

They finally broke through
And on your shoulder
This weight has been placed upon you
And everything we ever were

But now I'm keeping still
In someone's bright carnival ride
And all the crowd just cheers
As the bolts break and metal collides

Spiraling through
And flying up over the hills
And now everything's broken in two
And everything we ever were

But now, most of all
I am holding you under my skin
Watch these buildings fall
Watch as each weak resistance caves in

All over you all implode
And now finally fading from view
Is everything we ever were

Na, ah, ah ah, ah-ah, ay
Na, ah, ah ah, ah-ah, ay
Ah, ah, ah ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah ah, ah-ah, ah ah ah
Ah, ah, ah ah, ah-ah, oh
Ah, ah, ah ah, ah-ah, ah ah ah
Ah, ah, ah ah, ah-ah, aye
Ah, ah, ah ah
