Waiting For the Drop (Non-Album Track) Lyrics
[CHOIR]
Secure all your items, strap in and hold on for the ride
And keep your hands inside
Oh, it’s about to begin
I’m bursting within
Climbing, rising higher
Feel my face against the wind
Looking down at it all
At the ants caught in their everyday strife
[NOEL]
My God, this ride is like my life
Take me up and away
Above this small town cliché
[CHOIR]
To leave this place behind
Oh, I’m just waiting for the day
But at the top of the peak
There’s a moment where you’re king of the world!
And suddenly you’re hurled over
Up and then down
Towards the carnival ground
Scrеaming, join the crazy twisted symphony of sound!
Oh, how I love to hеar every kind of music
[MISCHA & NOEL]
Blasting in my ears
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
Guns ‘n’ Roses
Chopped Diva
Beatles
Oh, how lovely
It smells like cotton candy
[NOEL & MISCHA]
Corn dogs and rancid beers
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
Colored lights and people screaming
Light as reeling
Light as dreaming
[CHOIR]
Take me higher, no, no
[NOEL & MISCHA]
I never want to stop
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
Stomach churning
Falling money
Kind of freaky
Kind of funny
[CHOIR]
Tick-a, tick-a, tick-a, tick-a
Tick-a, tick-a, tick-a, tick-a
Whooooooaaaaa
Just waiting for the drop
Ooh…
Ooh…
Aah!!!
[JANE]
Aaaaaaaaaah!!!
[OCEAN]
Oh, into the spin
And then, something doesn’t feel quite right!
[MISCHA]
A blur of colored light!
[OCEAN & CONSTANCE]
Dizzy whirling around
Oh, where is the ground?
[NOEL]
My heart is in my throat
I feel my chest begin to pound!
[CHOIR]
Oh, bright lights ahead
And we’re spinning and it’s suddenly flat!
[CONSTANCE]
What happened to this track!?
[NOEL]
Did they set it up right?
[MISCHA]
That’s why my knuckles are white!
[CHOIR]
We’re flying, floating forward
That’s a blinding yellow light!
(Underneath next line)
Ooh…
Ooh…
Aaah!
[KARNAK]
At 6:19, this same rollercoaster’s front axel would break, causing it to derail at the apex of the loop-de-loop, hurtling the children to their deaths!
Tonight, I wish to give them the chance to express not who they were perceived to be, but who they dreamt they were
[CHOIR]
And then you’re sailing through space
You don’t know up from down
And you feel a little strange
From all that spinning ’round
And everything you loved
And everything you dreamed
And everything you feared
And everything that seems so, oh so terrifying
Is far behind on the ground
Like our far from the city, little itty bitty pretty hometown
Just a teeny tiny dot on a wee blue ball
And we’ve all been spinning
[MISCHA & NOEL]
All been spinning
[CHOIR]
Round and round and round
And round and round
Round and round
And round and round and round
And round and round
Round and round and-
[MISCHA & NOEL]
Every kind of music blasts in my ears
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
All those colored lights
Oh oh oh…
[MISCHA & NOEL]
Cotton candy and rancid beers
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
I gotta wear shades ’cause the future’s so bright!
[MISCHA & NOEL]
Take me higher, no, no, I never want to stop!
[OCEAN & CONSTANCE]
Never gonna bring me down, down…
[MISCHA & NOEL]
Take me up, right up to the top!
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
I’ll never put my feet on the ground
[MISCHA & NOEL]
Every kind of music, blasts in my ears
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
My life was about to start
[MISCHA & NOEL]
Cotton candy and rancid beers
[CONSTANCE & OCEAN]
We never should have got into that rickety cart
Oh no…
[CHOIR]
Take me higher… Wait!
Are we still on the track?
Uh-oh!
Down to the drop, now I know
Whoooooooaaaaaaa!!
Oh, we’re never going back!
Are we ever, ever going back?
