Next Stop - Next Turn

Next stop is where I begin
Your fears walking a tightrope
Next turn is when I spin
And I’ve got your heart like a top

Next stop – head over heels
Your voice stuck in your throat 
Next turn hold your happy meal
'cause I’ve got your head in a coast

Next stop I’ve got your joy
Expressed in your deafening scream
Next turn I’m now your favourite toy 
You savour the ride in a tub of ice cream 

Next stop – you’ll jump straight back in
Your fears vaporised in a thrill
Next turn – still high on adrenaline
Kicking and screaming with zeal

Next stop you’ll wobble at the knees 
Headlong - climbing the steep slopes
Next turn you’ll feel a bit woozy
Unabatedly anticipating the next stop
