Bob Gaulke - Ferris Clock Lyrics

We took a ride on the Ferris Clock
Kissing a city with a zillion watts
We got high we got down
Forgetting time when we were on top

We could see all connections
Between our lives and reflections

Between love and paying bills
Buying guitars and cement hills
I could pretend I was directing
Out a window in widescreen

We took a ride on the Ferris Clock
Having a time until it stopped

Happiness doesn't take much
Pull a switch thinking goes off

Happiness is easily bought
Tricks work round the clock

Feeling ourselves spun amongst
Coffee, clothes, motion, and love
I could see nothing else
Than you upside down in that dress

Leaving problems on the ground
Faraway and very small

Happiness soon forgets
It's ever been anywhere else
Spinning tighter 'round the familiar
Burning pleasure up and down
