Wonder Wheel
--words and music by Michael Stanley

She said this feels like Coney Island
At least she thought that's how it'd feel
But there ain't much left to surprise her
And there ain't much left that feels real

And she ain't never been to Paris
She ain't seen much more than Des Moines
And all those Midwest boys who had their way
Left behind a broken toy
And she said...

	Put me on that wonder wheel
	And make the world go round and round
	'Cause the lights up here take me away
	And I ain't never comin' down
	I ain't comin' down ...

And there were dreams that lay abandoned
Upon those dreams she'd never dare
And somewhere out on that horizon
A glow of neon filled the air

She just knew if she could get there
Well everything would be all right
Above the hustle of the midway
She could rise above it all tonight
And she said ...

	Put me on that wonder wheel
	And make the world go round and round
	'Cause the lights up here take me away
	And I ain't never comin' down
	I ain't comin' down ...

And there ain't nothin' that's been easy
And there's been nobody who stayed
But she knows just where she wants to be
When it all just slips away ...
And she said ...

	Put me on that wonder wheel
	And make the world go round and round
	'Cause the lights up here take me away
	And I ain't never comin' down
	I ain't comin' down ...

	I ain't comin' down ...
	I ain't comin' down ...
	I ain't never comin' down ...
	She said this feels like Coney Island ...
