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