It’s Not A Game / It’s Just A Ride Live Version lyrics

[Short Instrumental]

OCEAN:
It's not a game, maybe that's news
So no one will win here, and no one can lose
There's no one to measure our foolish pride
And no one keeps score of how hard we tried

OCEAN [as choir joins]
This ride it has heartbreak, this ride it has pain
All kinds of blue skies, no shortage of rain
Yes, there is laughter, and the telling of lies
And maybe in darkness, we open our eyes

And you give and choose, while you love and losе
And you feel the world is spinning, with no ending or beginning
You just takе a look around, take a look around
Take a look around
And round, and round, and round

KARNAK [spoken]
And now you're probably wondering what happens next
That I couldn't possibly tell you, but I do know this for certain:
After reading thousands of human fortunes, my final insight is-

[Karnak glitches, beneath the chaos we hear "your lucky number is seven" "you will soar to great heights" "be sure to ride the cylone"]
CHOIR:
We're just sailing through space
There's no up or down
So beautiful and strange
But it's more than spinning round

Yes it's everything you loved
And everything you dreamed
And everything you shared
And everything that seems so oh, so, terrifying

OCEAN:
But it's not a game, it's not a game

CHOIR:
Woah, no-no
It's not a game, it's not a game

It's just a ride
[The choir screams with joy as they simulate the roller coaster drop]
It's just a ride

You might live for a day, or eternity
There's no time for a judge or a reverie
No one will measure how hard we tried
We're all just sailing through space, there's no up there's no down
It's all so beautiful but so much more than spinning round
Yes, it's everything you loved
And it's everything you dreamed
And it's everything you shared
And it's everything that seems so oh so terrifying
Turning round

It's just a ride
It's just a ride

And the world will keep on spinning, with no ending or beginning
So just take a look around
Take a look around
Take a look around
And round, and round, and round...

[JANE]
I know this dream of life is never ending
It goes around, and round, and round again
