The Ticketman

from Glow In The Dark by Rachel Rose Mitchell

/

lyrics

I don't know just how you got here.
It doesn't really matter where you wanna be.
It's so hard to believe your eyes, but
what you get is what you see.

Fortunately, we've got time
so if you listen, I will speak.
What's that? You say you cannot stand this?
You're welcome to take a seat!

(We've got room to spare.)

I don't know what the ticketman told you,
but this journey's just begun.
The river ebbs and the river flows
and the river takes what the river wants.
Sticks and stones may break your bones
if you try to jump ship when all's not well.
You can bet your soul you'll be better off
spinning 'round and 'round on this carousel.

It's a long trip, one way road.
Tell me, where is it you call home?
Or rather, 'was it'. It's long gone.
Don't worry, dear, you're far from alone.
You've already come this far,
it's far too late to look back now.
Pardon the pun, but look alive!
You'll flourish here, I know somehow.

You're not the only one who's going
through those feelings in your heart.
Everyone says this feels like the end.
I promise this is just the start.

Sooner or later, we're all navigating these waters.
Down here, we are all the same.
Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats!
Welcome to the fun and games!

Tell me, did you see a light?
It's been so long. I don't remember what it's like.

I don't know what the ticketman told you,
but this journey's just begun.
The river ebbs and the river flows
and the river takes what the river wants.
Sticks and stones may break your bones
if you try to jump ship when all's not well.
You can bet your soul you'll be better off
spinning 'round and 'round on this carousel.

I don't know what the ticketman told you,
but this journey's just begun.
The river ebbs and the river flows
and the river takes what the river wants.
Styx and stones may break your bones
if you try to jump ship when all's not well.
You can bet your soul you'll be better off
spinning 'round and 'round on this carousel.
