Rollercoaster
Stickshift Rocketship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna take her to the magic land.
Gonna take her on the rides.
Gonna take her on the rides.
Flying down the red caboose, she said,
She's on a roller coaster.
Gonna ride it with no hands.
She's on a roller coaster.
Don't wanna ever get off.
Gonna watch her loose her lunch,
When she sees the Brady Bunch ride.
Gonna buy her fifty tickets, yea!
She's on a roller coaster.
Gonna ride it with no hands.
She's on a roller coaster.
Don't wanna ever get off.
What would we do with an
Old fashioned girl?
With her hand on her
hips and a hand
in her hair?
Bathe her in rosemary,
Halos and holes
Where we made her,
And gave her a comb for her hair.
She's on a roller coaster.
Gonna ride it with no hands.
She's on a roller coaster.
Gotta buy her fifty tickets, yea!
Oh yea!
Oh yea.
The lyrics to Stickshift Rocketship's song "Rollercoaster" depict the singer's excitement to take his sister to an amusement park and go on all the rides with her. He imagines watching her let go and enjoy herself as they fly down the red caboose of a roller coaster. The singer even plans on buying her fifty tickets and laughs at the idea of watching her lose her lunch on the Brady Bunch ride. The chorus, "She's on a roller coaster. Gonna ride it with no hands. She's on a roller coaster. Don't wanna ever get off," emphasizes the joy and thrill of the experience.
The second half of the song includes somewhat cryptic lines such as, "What would we do with an old fashioned girl? With her hand on her hips and a hand in her hair?" It's unclear whether this refers to the sister the singer is with or a hypothetical person. The following lines paint a dreamy and mystical image of "bathing her in rosemary" and giving her a "comb for her hair." However, the chorus returns with the same enthusiasm for the roller coaster rides as before.
