I took a ride around the world
With a tilt-a-whirl girl
A tilt-a-whirl girl
She'll twist and turn just when you think you know her
Like a roller coaster
Like a roller coaster

Took me for a ride on my white bed
"Come with me," she said
"Come with me," she said
I'll show you a place you'll never want to come back
Close to a heart attack,
Yeah right, like a heart attack

The only thing that she showed me is that this whole world's dead
The only way to survive is to climb out of your own head
And if you say "This world's confused," it's a joke
It's got sticks in its spokes, sticks in its spokes
But we'll die young and foolish, I hope
Send our lives up in smoke, our lives up in smoke

The only thing that she showed me is that this whole world's dead
The only way to survive is to climb out of your own head
The only thing that she showed me is that this world's already gone
The only way to survive is to step off your own front lawn

I took a ride around the world
With a tilt-a-whirl girl
A tilt-a-whirl girl
With a tilt-a-whirl girl
A tilt-a-whirl girl
