lyrics

Coney Island

You held my hand while I shot the freak
I bet the man five bucks and laid my money down
we celebrated victory at Nathan's
on the boardwalk walking down
this is a dangerous place to fall in love
a very dangerous place to fall
this is a dangerous place to fall in love

the wonder wheel, great miracle of physics
spinning madly like the earth around the sun
the ghost of Woody Guthrie flying through
the air above everyone
this is a dangerous place to fall in love
a very dangerous place to fall
this is a dangerous place to fall in love
Coney Island, Coney Island, Coney Island


you ate cotton candy while I played my guitar
it was too sticky for my fingers I said
when you'd made it through that big, pink cloud
I put my guitar away and we rode that wheel again
this is a dangerous place to fall in love
a very dangerous place to fall
this is a dangerous place to fall in love
Coney Island, Coney Island, Coney Island

sometimes when I feel lost
in the deep, dark recesses of my head
I go back to Coney Island
and ride the wonder wheel, somehow it brings me back again
Coney Island, Coney Island, Coney Island
