Planet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Riding on the Ferris wheel
Women dressed cute wearing heels
Won a prize at the old ring toss

All the freaks are out tonight
Circus music full of life
Everybody, having a good time
See that woman in the ticket booth
Babygirl's done up with nothing to do
We get to talking, then get out of sight
She wants to ride me all damn night

Like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, oh that's right
Like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, oh that's right

We head down to the merry-go-round
Smoke a doobie and go to town
Not gonna stop until the night is done

In the fun house super dazed
Tripping balls, being amazed
Of all the lights, illusions, and the night

I knew that tonight would be fun
I'm glad that I got to spend it with someone
I kiss your lips and sparks ignite
Like fireworks and dynamite

Like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, oh that's right
Like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, oh that's right

I fell for her badly
We both had issues with our daddies
Whacked some moles and got a little bit closer
Hanging on for dear life on the roller coaster

Yeah hold on tight baby, it's a long way to the top

I knew that tonight would be fun
I'm happy that I got to spend it with someone
I kiss your lips and sparks ignite
Like fireworks and dynamite

Just like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, oh that's right
Like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, whoa that's right
Like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, oh that's right




Like a carnival ride, all damn night
Like a carnival ride, oh that's right
