Ride of your life (rough phone recording)

Sorry, no lyrics until I have a keyboard. This is all you get from the phone.
*edit* LYRICS =-D

It seems to me life's amusement park just has too many rides;
I hopped on one without thinking, and now I'm strapped inside.
I wish that I could start again, stand in a much longer line;
have chosen my rides with better care, because your hills look mighty fine.

This roller coaster ride through life just will not let me go.
I'm strapped down in this seat so tight with no way to take control.
I'm wondering what I can do to put this train on better tracks;
to share the ride of life with you, but there's no way of turning back.

I think about the tracks ahead, as I'm cranking up the hill.
There will be twists and turns, reliefs and thrills, and I hope my guts don't spill.
I reach across the open car in the hopes I'll find your hand,
but the seat beside me's empty, there's no escape from where I am...

(Mecicanish words by Javier)
No todo es color de rosa, en estas attraciones de la vida, y de vez en cuando hay que parar y recapasitar... Para todo esto controloar; y para pensar, si en realidad, es lo que quieres tu.

As the train pulls back ot the station, I'm shocked by a new sign;
it says there'll be only kiddie rides for the rest of my life's time.
And though it makes me happy to have gone over that hill,
I worry that I can't be with you, and be a good father still. (Chorus)

Roller-coasters seem easy, because you just give up your control.
Life doesn't work that way, so I think that I'll give you a whirl.


I wrote this for Javier, so he has to like it. =P
The rest of you, feel free to complain about the lousy audio quality, bad guitar playing, and that I couldn't be bothered to do anything with my hair.
I just got the guitar, haven't played since July, was only playing for a year at that point (learned in prison. Thank you, taxpayers =D), and did this in 3 takes. It's good enough for the phone version... Better equipment, better production standards =P
Barely had the guitar 4 hours now, and most of that was re-stringing the thing. I'd never done it before.

And...finally, for you political junkies that subscribed to me because of the philosophy of liberty video... Thanks. And...more, soon... I just got out of prison. Give me a little time to get things together.
Later,
~K
