Was not too long ago,
Young girl got dismembered on
A Six Flags wild Superman ride
On every ride we take a chance
That car we're on just might detach
And maybe, send us flying for a mile

Their safety standards make me shiver
Another casket got delivered
Bypassed on that last check
They never care to inspect
They will give you breaks on their fries
While they reassure you with their lies
Throw new paint on now it can hide
Cracks on that whirling ride

So...

(Chorus)
Why die on Amusement Park Rides
You're too heavy; this may levy us the cost of our lives
In all that noise we're screamin' save me and why
Wonderin' "Is this a new ride that can fly?,

Is this a new ride that can fly?"

Did you leave the park some blood
I don't have faith in carny crud
Since their actions are so slow

Now our bodies are not meant to roll
Should take your fear and not your soul
And not to bang me a real chance death blow
Well that ride I went in on a whim
'Cause it looked like good fun when it spins
They said take off your shoes
I should have passed on that weird news

I was spinning wild and so unaware
That in the end I would look like Linda Blair
Need exorcism for that chair
On that wild, zipper ride,

I started screaming..

(Chorus)
Don't die on Amusement Park Rides
You're too heavy; this may levy us the cost of our lives
In all that noise we're screamin' save me and why
Wonderin' "Are we in a part of Saw 5?

Are we in a part of Saw 5?"

Now face the fear just exposed a bone
You got thrown splat on a nearby stone
When the belt broke and you sailed free
When the State Fair rang you just made the scene
You just hoped for fun not lose a spleen
Little voice should have said you should flee
Oh and while the ride was whizzing round
Some bolts flew off and you went down
Park's lawyers had well earned
A case where you got burned

And while heavens had just filled with sparks
They claimed you went too near the arc
Got third degrees and left the park
On that, Inferno ride,

You were screaming...

(Chorus)
Why die on Amusement Park Rides
You're too heavy; this may levy us the cost of our lives
In all that noise we're screamin' save me and why
Wonderin' "The thrill is if we all survive,

The thrill is if we all survive"

Summer swelter made you seek some shelter
Log flume had turned into Helter Skelter
Very high drop and fallin' fast
No belts needed but alas
The seat broke off and stuck in your ass
Got a free return pass with your body cast

Now the dolphin show would start real soon
As the music blasts an aqua tune
At fish you want to glance, and it gave them that one chance
'Cause the sea lions were short a meal
Your waving hand just closed the deal
On the day where you fed the seals
Your hand, has waved goodbye,

And you were screaming..

(Chorus)
Why die on Amusement Park Rides
You're too heavy; this may levy us the cost of our lives
In all that noise we're screamin' save me and why
Wonderin' "Why can I count only to five?

Why can I count only to five?"

Too many people jammed in place
Your coaster ride is lost in space
Jumped off that track you face your end

Just went on, it's a gamble,
Wheels will click,
Wheels smashed hard on a loosened brick
'Cause tires are what they never get checked

As some people fell from the cage
You watch them hit the high dive stage
Their bodies smashed to gel
You make your last farewell
And as the coaster teetered from your height
You looked down and for extra fright
You saw carnies betting on your plight
No way, the cars collide

You were screaming..

(Chorus)
Why die on Amusement Park Rides
You're too heavy; this may levy us the cost of our lives
In all that noise we're screamin' save me and why
Wonderin' "Why my ride had made a swan dive?

Why my ride had made a swan dive?"

You saw a ride that looked real new
And the guy said it was hardly used
It was too calm you turned away

They sell insurance in the store
Never have seen them do that before
And the fine line read you're riding your last day

Now every ride seems like a dream
More people died what does it all mean
Your hand has world end tokens
Your fate now has been spoken

So those three men you'd admired most will guide you as you are now a ghost
You're on a peace train and it floats
The way, you love to, ride

And you're now singing...

(Chorus )
I fly on Amusement Park Rides
You're soul's heavy as a chevy; final peace you rely
And that's your choice no grievin' and you know why
Reflectin' "How my life has been a wild ride

How my life has been a wild ride"....

I fly on Amusement Park Rides
My soul's ready not so heavy; I'm at peace so goodbye
And now my train is sailing high in the sky

Leavin' my life that has been a wild ride...
