Only a Ride Songtext
von Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil

Are we not on a holiday?
Aren′t we entitled to thrills?
Didn't we pay to be entertained?
I signed a waiver that kills
Standing on the deck of the unknown
Waiting on the drop of the bar
I got a pass and a permanent scar
I got the front seat covered
Only a ride
Only a ride
It′s only a ride
Keep your feet in
Only a ride
It's only a ride
If it's only a ride
Why am I bleedin′?
I got me so much amusement
I can′t stomach no more
My knees scrapin' the ceiling
My knuckles draggin′ the floor


How's a body pay you to stop this?
Every other turn is a blur
Every other word is a curse
But I like being first
Only a ride
Only a ride
It′s only a ride
It's what you′re needin'
Only a ride
Only a ride
If it's only a ride
Why am I bleedin′?
Only a ride
Only a ride
It′s only a ride
Get your seat low
Only a ride
It's only a ride
If it′s only a ride
Where did my head go?
Thought I saw the devil you know
Waiting for something to fall
I got nothin' and no one to call
But I′m stuck in first, y'all
Only a ride
Only a ride
It′s only a ride
Set your sights low
Only a ride
It's only a ride
If it's only a ride
Where did my head go?

Only a ride
Only a ride
It′s only a ride
It′s what you're needin′
Only a ride
Only a ride
It's only a ride
Why am I bleedin′?
Why am I bleedin'?
Why am I bleedin′?
