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