about

You ever go on one of them haunted rides at the amusement park? a ghost train ? yeah this song is about those things. How when you are a kid, it seems so scary but when you go back as an adult you notice how fake and broken everything is. this song is specifically about the haunted mine at canobie lake park, N.H.

lyrics

There’s a broken dummy over there
And the train goes off the track
swirling vortex in the air
a ghost behind your back

made of cardboard there’s a castle ridge
and a plastic light window pane
missing planks on the bridge
will we ever be the same?

come closer and closer
your eyes will not deceive
clichés from the past
you know it's make-believe

closer and closer
paint is chipping away
magic's glowing dimmer now
it's all just child's play

the wolf comes out at night
and he howls at the crone
this place gives me a fright
but only when I’m all alone

in the corner, empty rocking chair
and it’s pulled on by a string
now we are in the witches lair
and we listen to her sing

chills up and down your spine
but spider's on the floor
mermaid has lost her head
she's washed up on the shore

clowns on the left of me
and devils on the right
the tunnel's getting smaller now
it's feeling pretty tight

come closer and closer
your eyes will not deceive
clichés from the past
you know it's make-believe

come closer and closer
the paint is chipping away
magic's glowing dimmer now
it's all just child's play
