  • Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
    Like a Ferris wheel like it’s breaking down
    Drinking angel’s piss, gonna crash and burn
    I just want some action so gimme my turn

    Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
    It’s the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
    It’s looking like another bad comedy
    Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too

    Can you hear the sound coming over the hill?
    Gotta move my feet, it’s coming in for the kill
    Ba-baby, baby it’s a blow out
    Like a nuclear bomb and it won’t be long ’til I detonate

    Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
    It’s the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
    It’s looking like another bad comedy
    Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too

    Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
    Like a Ferris wheel like it’s breaking down
    Scream, scream, screaming bloody murder
    Like a nuclear bomb and it won’t be long ’til I detonate

    Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
    It’s the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
    It’s looking like another bad comedy
    Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too
