Verse
G# C# A#m C#
Here there floats an island of saints
D# G#
Apprentice boys and girls
C# A#m C#
Say hi, to devils that waste their time
D# G# C# A#m C#
And they fall when shoes don't fit them so well
D# G# C#
Slip back pumps and lounges
A#m C# D#
It's where we go to cheer them on
[Chorus]
G# Fm C#
Riders on the ride, won't you help me?
G# Fm C#
It's crowded and a bit too lonely
G# Fm C#
Mirror balls and they're spinning
G# Fm C#
Happy and ascending
D# C#
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
G# C# A#m C#
All these words that line the page
D# G# C#
Dye jobs fade, sunsets
A#m C# D#
That we rent when we get bored with the
G# C#
Pinstripe suits
A#m C# D# G# C#
Degrees admin and personnel will wink
A#m C# D#
Got lips and tigers in the past
[Chorus]
G# Fm C#
Riders on the ride, won't you help me?
G# Fm C#
It's crowded and a bit too lonely
G# Fm C#
Mirror balls and they're spinning
G# Fm C#
Happy and ascending
D# C#
Yeah, yeah
