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