Top Of The Roller Coaster Lyrics - David Wilcox

Say goodbye to your twenties, tomorrow is the "Big 3-0" 

For my birthday present, I've got a place where we can go 

It's a lesson in motion to ride the wildest ride 

We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster 

And look down the other side 

So let me ride in the front car and you ride right behind 

And I'll click my snapshot camera at exactly the right time 

Shoot back over my shoulder, catch the fear no one can hide 

When we tip the top of the roller coaster and look down the other side 

Over the hill 

So when the prints come back 

We can look at that unmistakable birthday fear 

Like your younger days are over now 

And it's all downhill from here 

It was a happy birthday, you surprised us all 

So take a look at this glossy picture, I framed it for your wall 

It's the moment of truth, it's the top of your youth 

The camera don't lie, you might be screaming 

But there's a meaning in the laughter in your eyes 

It seems to be saying, "Of course there will be fear" 

Aah but this is why we stand in line spend that time 

Make that climb to finally feel the other side 

And it's all downhill from here 

We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster 

And look down the other side
