Ferris Wheel Missing Bolts

https://suno.com/song/2f1ee64c-4fdb-40ac-99f9-7616a13997b4


Verse 1

County fair lights buzzing in the dust

Cheap beer courage, rust and busted trust

Cotton candy sky turning black and blue

Life keeps spinning whether I like it or you

Every year another bolt comes loose

Another friend gone, another bad excuse

But the ride keeps creaking through the night

Like it’s daring gravity to try its might

Chorus

Life’s pulling the bolts out of a Ferris wheel

Still turning like it don’t know how to kneel

Rust in the gears and sparks in the dark

One bad shake and the whole thing falls apart

But we climb in laughing like fools who feel

Maybe we’ll make one more turn of that wheel

Yeah life’s pulling the bolts out one by one

And the damn ride’s still running

Verse 2

Doctor says slow down, watch your heart

Like he’s reading warnings off a broken part

But the music’s loud and the whiskey’s cheap

And the night don’t care if the welds don’t keep

Seen love fall off like a carnival seat

Seen good men land in the dirt at my feet

But the lights come on and the tickets sell

And the barker’s yelling “Ride it again, what the hell!”

Chorus

Life’s pulling the bolts out of a Ferris wheel

Still turning like it don’t know how to kneel

Rust in the gears and sparks in the dark

One bad shake and the whole thing falls apart

But we climb in laughing like fools who feel

Maybe we’ll make one more turn of that wheel

Yeah life’s pulling the bolts out one by one

And the damn ride’s still running

Bridge

Someday the axle’s gonna scream and snap

Crowd gonna scatter from the carnival trap

But till that moment when the lights go black

I’ll keep riding this wreck of a track

Final Chorus

Life’s pulling the bolts out of a Ferris wheel

Still turning like it don’t know how to feel

Wind in the spokes and fate on the deal

Ain’t no stopping this crooked steel

So I’ll raise my cup to the spinning sky

If it comes apart, at least I tried

Yeah life’s pulling the bolts out one by one

And the damn ride’s still running



I think I could sing this my self . I think I got this hook from Tex

    Life is like a rickety carnival ride.
    You could go flying off or make it to the end and still lose your lunch. 😆
    Good song. I like the bridge.

    Yeah thats it , take chances, marry a lot , raise hell, then your dead like Chad . Shit Chad snorting coke at 65 years old what expect another birthday ?

  • My first reaction to this is that it's too wordy. It's just too quick to follow without the lyric in front of you.

    I think something more like:

    Life's a turn on the Ferris Wheel

    We climb in laughing like fools who feel...

    will be easier for people to follow. I know that isn't the message you've currently got though.

    Lots of visuals in there, and that's always a strength.

    Rust in the gears and sparks in the dark

    that's a particularly good line.

    Worth pursuing.

  • Little wordy I guess

    If course!!!! t's logical, they say men are missing a screw, well, ferries are too, they're missing one, two, three screws at least, it's not a problem, since we're reborn and fall and reborn and fall again, what do you think life is about, about living us!!!! hahaha Yay, we're all going to die, again!!!! To the roasting oven, guys!


    Sonríe hombre!!!
