If life is a carnival,
   can I stay here a while
   Nemesis rose,
   and I feel I'm about to go down,
   about to go down,
  
   If love is a Ferris wheel,
   can I see how I feel,
   she's taking me up but she don't even care to go down,
   care to go down,
  
   Oh my friends we landed in December,
   creating something for you to remember,
   The rushes were made, and music was saved
   One two three she's riding up to heaven
   Four five six I'm wired up to eleven,
   the rushes were made, and music was saved
  
   Back on the ground again,
   excuses are wearing thin,
   they came with a bang but they're out with a whimper for now,
   losing it now.
  
   Remember when I was young,
   trying to be someone,
   A boy on his heels,
   I was never the talk of the town,
   look at me now.
  
   Oh my friends we landed in December,
   creating something for you to remember,
   the rushes were made, and music was saved.
   One two three she's riding up to heaven
   Four five six I'm wired up to eleven,
   the rushes were made, and music was saved
  
   Oh my friends we landed in December,
   creating something for you to remember,
   The rushes were made, and music was saved
   One two three she's riding up to heaven
   Four five six I'm wired up to eleven,
   the rushes were made and music was saved,
   music was saved.
