Get a ticket, stand in line
I was doing kind of fine
'Til they locked me in the car with the bars
The kids looking right at me

Oh, what they don't know
What they don't know

The roller-coaster of life is so nice
If you do it well, you can go through it twice
If you don't know how to go slow
You can fall to earth and lose it all

And all the vampires on the beach
Are looking right at me
They must need something to eat
Something young and something sweet

Oh, what they don't know
What they don't know

The roller-coaster of life is so nice
If you do it well, you can go through it twice
If you don't know how to go slow
You can fall to earth and lose it all

All, all

Walking along the beach, and a busker sings to me
That Chili Pepper heat, and he just wants to meet
But I ain't got the time to stop, I've got somewhere to be
The kids looking right at me

Oh, what they don't know
What they don't know

The roller-coaster of life is so nice
If you do it well, you can go through it twice
If you don't know how to go slow
You can fall to earth and lose it all

The roller-coaster of life is so nice
If you do it well, you can go through it twice
If you don't know how to go slow
You can fall to earth and lose it all

All, all, all
