Roller Coaster Songtext
von 13th Floor Elevators

Someone somewhere sometime ago
His eyes were clear to see
He put his thoughts into my mind
And gave myself to me
He stopped me from living so unsane
I can be just what I want to be
Things appear as they really are
I can see just what I want to see


Come on and let it happen to you
Come on and let it happen to you
You′ve got to open up your mind
And let everything come through
Oh well, it starts like a roller coaster ride
So real it takes your breath away
It slides you through your point of view
You look back to where you thought you'd stay
Your ride the changes outside you
While inside you′re like a neon ray
And you find out you don't have to search for words
For there's nothing you need to say

Come on and let it happen to you
Come on and let it happen to you
You′ve got to open up your mind
And let everything come through

After your trip life opens up
You start doing what you want to do
And you find out that the world you once knew
Gets what it has from you
No one can ever hurt you
Because you know more that you thought you knew
And you′re looking at the world through brand new eyes
And no one can ever spoil the view

Come on and let it happen to you
Come on and let it happen to you
You've got to open up your mind
And let everything come through
