R.E.M. wall of death richard thompson cover

Select language to translate this lyric

No no no no no no no no no no no no
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time.
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time.
You can waste your time on the other rides, but this is the nearest to being alive,
Let me take my chances on the wall of death.
You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house.
You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse.
The tunnel of love might amuse you,
Noah's Ark might confuse you.
But let me take my chances on the wall of death.
On the wall of death all the world is far from me.
On the wall of death it's the nearest, to being free.
You are going nowhere when you ride on the carousel.
Well maybe you're strong but what's the use of ringing a bell?
The switchback will make you crazy.
Beware of the bearded lady.
Oh let me take my chances on the wall of death.
You are going nowhere when you ride on the carousel.
Well maybe you're strong but what's the good of ringing a bell?
The switchback will make you crazy.
Beware of the bearded lady.
Ah let me take my chances
(take my chances)
Let me take my chances
(take my chances)
Let me take my chances...
