Part 1
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
Part 2
My Heart Jumped A Gazillion Beats A Sеcond
But I Didn't Scream Like The Othеr 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 Up With All This Love For Everything
Images And All This Feeling Flooded Into Me Like—
Part 3
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
And 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
Part 4
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!
Part 5
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
