Ferris Wheel on Fire

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 learned

Now I'm keeping stow

In someone's bright carnival ride

All the crowd just cheers

As the bolts break and metal collides

Spiraling through

And flying up all over the hills

And now everything's broken in two

And everything's way over

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 over

And now finally fading from view

Is everything we ever knew
