I sat there alone upon the Ferris wheel<br>
A pastel coloured carriage in the air
A pastel coloured carriage in the air<br>
 
I thought you'd leave me dangling for a minute or two<br>
I thought you'd leave me dangling for a minute or two
A silly twist upon a childish dare<br>
 
Below I saw you whispering to another man<br>
A silly twist upon a childish dare
Who held the lever that could bring me down<br>
 
He'd stop the world from turning at your command<br>
Below I saw you whispering to another man
It's always something cruel that laughter drowns<br>
 
<br>
Who held the lever that could bring me down
''Chorus:''<br>
 
And I'm up while the dawn is breaking<br>
He'd stop the world from turning at your command
Even though my heart is aching<br>
 
I should be drinking a toast to absent friends<br>
It's always something cruel that laughter drowns
Instead of these comedians<br>
 
<br>
 
I can hardly hear the music from the carousel<br>
 
As the wind picks up the carriage starts to sway<br>
''Chorus:''
As one by one the lights go out, it's closing time<br>
 
I see you take his hand and walk away<br>
And I'm up while the dawn is breaking
Walk away<br>
 
<br>
Even though my heart is aching
They say that you will always be the last to know<br>
 
They say that all that glitters is not gold<br>
I should be drinking a toast to absent friends
It's not just that you're never coming back to me<br>
 
It's the bitter way that I was told<br>
Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
 
As the wind picks up the carriage starts to sway
 
As one by one the lights go out, it's closing time

Walk away
 
 
 
They say that you will always be the last to know

lyrics for
The Comedians

I sat there alone upon the Ferris wheel
A pastel coloured carriage in the air
I thought you'd leave me dangling for a minute or two
A silly twist upon a childish dare
Below I saw you whispering to another man
Who held the lever that could bring me down
He'd stop the world from turning at your command
It's always something cruel that laughter drowns

Chorus:
And I'm up while the dawn is breaking
Even though my heart is aching
I should be drinking a toast to absent friends
Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music from the carousel
As the wind picks up the carriage starts to sway
As one by one the lights go out, it's closing time
I see you take his hand and walk away
Walk away

They say that you will always be the last to know
They say that all that glitters is not gold
It's not just that you're never coming back to me
It's the bitter way that I was told

(Repeat Chorus)
