Hands inside the Ride

HomeArticles & EssaysHands inside the Ride
Summary:
Life can be a roller coaster ride

Sold my soul inside a hand basket    
been misled had a question forgot to ask it    
got a ticket for our home towns carnival extravaganza    
floating down this river of heartache and missed dreams   they all see me struggling but seem to ignore my screams    
i want to win the big door prize   
by throwing the ball in the bucket    
two free tickets you say I’m cheap    
i sigh and say fuck it    
walking through the fun house    
with 20 rooms full of glass    
my children won’t come in with me    
but I think they’d have a blast      
lost the toss    
have to give the gold ring back    
the haunted house gave me two free credits    
snake oil salesman said    
he could make it work so they lent it    
bearded lady named fanny called when I couldn’t pay the note    
said she was sorry and would really like to help    
i’m living in the clown car we’re 20 deep   
buckled in to ride fire mountain     
The old ride operator smiled and said    
“Keep your hands inside the ride at all times”
