Lyrics: Richard Thompson Music: Richard Thompson Let me ride on the wall of death one more time Let me ride on the wall of death one more time You can waste your time on the other rides This is the nearest to being alive Oh, let me take my chances on the wall of death You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse The tunnel of love might amuse you And Noah's ark might confuse you Let me take my chances on the wall of death On the wall of death All the world is far from me On the wall of death It's the nearest to being free Oh, you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel And maybe you're strong, but what's the good of ringing a bell? The switchback will make you crazy Beware of the bearded lady Oh, let me take my chances on the wall of death Audio Engineer: Colton Jean/James McAlister/Max Helmerich Acoustic Guitar: James McAlister Mastering Engineer: Pete Lyman Bass Guitar: James McAlister Vocals: James McAlister/Ken Pomeroy/Wilderado
