This is a story of a
Roller coaster child
In the city living

Where there once was wild (wild)
I'm not the enemy
Not defending thee

The place where they're sending me
Is such a long way down, down, down


You know you turn the other way
In a one way town
Put your eye to the sky

Plant your feet into the ground
What's the word
Bright as the sun in your eyes

You left a tear in the dust
But you never said goodbye


You say that you're quitting
But you're still gonna do it
Long song skipping on

The record in your head (head)
You say that you're leaving
But you're walking in circles

Running from a memory
That you wanna forget


You know you look the other way
In a one way town
Put your eye to the sky

Plant your feet into the ground
We'll find a world
A place where the light never dies

You left a tear in the dust
But you never said goodbye


And it's a story of a
Roller coaster town
Well you can touch the top of the sky

But then you're gonna come down, down

Oo, you try to run away

In a one way town
Put your eye to the sky
Plant your feet into the ground

You found a world
A place where the light never dies
You left a tear in the dust

But you never said goodbye

Cause we're the other way

In a one way town
You left a tear in the dust
But you never settled down

Another world
Bright as the sun in your eyes
You left a tear in the dust

Run away, goodbye
