Thrill of a Ride

The party starts, and the music's loud
 And the boys are dancing and girls don't make a sound
 She's mixing liquor, and she's ready to flirt
 His eyes are hollow like the heartbeat under his shirt
 His mind is filled with distorted views
 And his eyes scope out the closest eyes in sight
 Questions are answered as he touches her face
 (touches her face)
 Time stops, the feelings gone, the moments are erased
 I said, hey, this moment lasts for one night
 The thrill of a ride that I held so tight
 And I can't hold on anymore
 I said, hey, beauty is a light switch away
 I want you every day
 But I can't hold on to you anymore
 This room is filled with enticing eyes
 That now are gently demanding the nearest passerby
 These angels feed off those unwilling to cope
 (unwilling to cope)
 They spread disease like the rumors they have spoke
 From time to time, I still think of the nights
 With those liquid-fueled dreams of sheets and dimming lights
 She had me where she wanted me in the end
 (me in the end)
 A ghost of who I was with time repeating again
 I said, hey, this moment lasts for one night
 The thrill of a ride that I held so tight
 And I can't hold on anymore
 I said, hey, beauty is a light switch away
 I want you every day
 But I can't hold on to you anymore
 The tables have turned
 Like feelings morph into dreams
 But anything is all we ever wanted
 Nothing is what it seems
 The meaning is burned
 Like sadness morphs into tears
 But everything is all we ever lusted
 Now everything is what we fear
 Hey, this moment lasts for one night
 The thrill of a ride that I held so tight
 And I can't hold on anymore
 I said, hey, beauty is a light switch away
 I want you every day
 But I can't hold on to you anymore
 I said, hey, this moment lasts for one night
 The thrill of a ride that I held so tight
 And I can't hold on anymore
 I said, hey, your beauty is just a light switch away
 I want you every day
 I can't hold on to you anymore
 Oh anymore
 Oh ooh
