David Wilcox Top Of The Roller Coaster
Say goodbye to your twenties, tomorrow is the "Big 3-0"
For my birthday present, I've got a place where we can go
It's a lesson in motion to ride the wildest ride
We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster
And look down the other side
So let me ride in the front car and you ride right behind
And I'll click my snapshot camera at exactly the right time
Shoot back over my shoulder, catch the fear no one can hide
When we tip the top of the roller coaster and look down the other side
Over the hill
So when the prints come back
We can look at that unmistakable birthday fear
Like your younger days are over now
And it's all downhill from here
It was a happy birthday, you surprised us all
So take a look at this glossy picture, I framed it for your wall
It's the moment of truth, it's the top of your youth
The camera don't lie, you might be screaming
But there's a meaning in the laughter in your eyes
It seems to be saying, "Of course there will be fear"
Aah but this is why we stand in line spend that time
Make that climb to finally feel the other side
And it's all downhill from here
We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster
And look down the other side
