Life is ever so strange

It's good for a change

You think you worked it out

Bang, right outta the blue

Something happens to you

To throw you off course

But then you



Break down

Yeah, you break down

Don't you break down

Listen to me

Because



CHORUS:

It's just a ride

It's just a ride

No need to run, no need to hide

It'll take you round and round

Sometimes you're up sometimes you're down

It's just a ride

It's just a ride

Don't be scared, don't hide your eyes

It may feel so real inside

But don't forget it's just a ride



Truth, you don't wanna hear

It's too much to take (too much to take)

Don't have to feel 

Out of control

So we make our plans (make our plans)

Ten times a day (ten times a day)

And when they don't go

Our way we



Break down

Yeah, we break down

Don't you break down

Listen to me

Because



CHORUS:

It's just a ride

It's just a ride

No need to run, no need to hide

It'll take you round and round

Sometimes you're up sometimes you're down

It's just a ride

It's just a ride

Don't be scared, don't hide your eyes

It may feel so real inside

But don't forget it's just a ride



Slowly

Oh so very slowly

Except that

There's no getting off

So live it

Just gotta go with it

‘Cause this rides, never gonna stop



Break down

Yeah you break down

No need to break down

No need at all

Because



CHORUS:

It's just a ride

It's just a ride

No need to run, no need to hide

It'll take you round and round

Sometimes you're up sometimes you're down

It's just a ride

It's just a ride

Don't be scared, now dry your eyes

It may feel so real inside

But don't forget enjoy the ride



It's just a ride

It's just a ride

No need to run, no need to hide

It'll take you round and round

Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down

It's just a ride, it's just a ride

Don't be scared, now dry your eyes

It may feel so real inside

But don't forget enjoy the ride
