Roller Coaster

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

Am I happy, am I sad, am I sane or am I mad
Can't escape the truth, or the lies, can't wear no big disguise
Cause I'm a thinking man, I only do the best I can
Any other creature big or small, would just ignore it all

Cause up and down and round and round the roller coaster goes,
You can take it to the top, and way back down
Up and down and round and round the roller coaster goes 
You know one day it's gonna stop, and you only get one ride.

It's mind over matter, only glass hearts can shatter
You know I'm on the mend, I ain't gonna let this shit happen again
Gotta keep it together, gonna make myself feel so much better
I'm gonna take it to another plane, where I can't feel no, I can’t feel no pain

Cause up and down and round and round the roller coaster goes,
You can take it to the top, and way back down
Up and down and round and round the roller coaster goes 
You know one day it's gonna stop, and you only get one ride.

Have you ever been low, as a bottom feeder goes
You know life can bring you down
Have you ever been high, as an albatross flies
Flying free

No matter how you feel today, no matter what you do or say
You're gonna have your ups and downs, good and bad, round and round
When things are going right, clear your mind and see the light
Try to reach that pinnacle, don't let yourself get cynical


Cause up and down and round and round, the roller coaster goes,
You can take it to the top, and way back down 
Up and down and round and round, the roller coaster goes
You can take it to the top, and way back down 
Up and down and round and round, the roller coaster goes
Up and down and round and round the roller coaster goes
Up and down and round and round the roller coaster goes
You know one day it's gonna...
