Ride the Cyclone the Musical - Jawbreaker Lyrics
The song is written by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell.
CONSTANCE (spoken):
I rode The Cyclone
With the other kids in the choir...
And that's when the accident happened.
We were at the top of the loop
When the rollercoaster made
This kind of screaming metal sound.
Sparks were shooting all over the place!
And then the screaming
And the sparks just- stopped.
And there was like this weightlessness.
My heart jumped a gazillion bеats a second,
But I didn't scream like thе other kids.
No. I was just soaking it all in.
'Cause on a certain level,
It was so rad! Sailing through the air upside down,
You could see all the other rides,
And it was like- something unlocked in me.
My heart just welled out with all
This love for everything!
Images and all this feeling flooded into me like...
Like climbing back into my bed in the morning
And feeling the heat left over from my body,
Hanging upside down from the monkey bars
'Til my head starts to tingle,
Smelling Jiffy markers, listening to music,
And dancing around my room
Before going out to a party,
Pretending I'm going to have the perfect time,
Finishing an essay, undoing a knot,
Pizza night, Halloween,
Watching my baby brother dance naked to ABBA,
Being in the choir at the height
Of the Hallelujah chorus
And feeling all the voices rattling my bones
I started laughing like a crazy person,
Giddy with endorphins,
It was all dancing leprechauns
And rainbows and unicorns,
Streams of chocolate,
Whirling rides,
Flashing lights!
There's no shame in loving my small town.
The only good things that happened
To me happened in Uranium.
It took a horrible accident for me
To realize how goddamn wonderful everything is
