I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel
   A pastel colored carriage in the air
   I thought you'd leave me danglin' for a little while
   A silly twist upon a childish dare.
   Below I saw you whisp ering to another man
   Who held the lever that could bring me down
   He'd stop the world fromturning at your command
   It's always something cruel that laughter drowns
   And I 'm up while the dawn is breaking
   Even though my heart is aching
   I should be drinking a toast
   To absent friends
   Instead of these
   Comedians
  
   I can hardly hear the musi c from the carousel
   The wind picks up, the carriage star ts to sway
   As one by one the lights go out
   It's closing time
   I see you take his hand and walk away
   Walk away
  
   They say that you will always be the last to know
   They say that all that glitters is not gold
   It's not just th at you're never coming back to me
   It's the bitter way th at I was told
   And I'm up while the dawn is breakin'
   Eve n though my heart is achin'
   I should be drinkin' a toast
   to absent friends
   Instead of these
   Comedians.
