Hit the road out of nowhere, I had to jump my car
and be a rider in the love game following the stars.
don't need no book of wisdom, I get no money talk at all.
She has a train going downtown, she's got a club on the moon
and she's telling all her secrets in a wonderful balloon.

Oh she's the heart of the funfair,
she's got me whistling her private tune.
And it all begins where it ends,
and she's all mine, my magic friend

She says: Hello, you fool, I love you.
C'mon join the joyride, join the joyride

She's a flower, I can paint her, she's a child of the sun,
we're a part of this together, could never turn around and run.
Don't need no fortune teller
to know where my lucky love belongs oh no.
Cos it all begins again when it ends,
and we're all magic friends

She says: hello, you fool, I love you.
C'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider

I take you on a skyride,
a feeling like you're spellbound.
The sunshine is a lady
who rox you like a baby.

She says: hello, you fool, I love you.
C'mon join the joyride, join the joyride

    General Comment:I think this song is about drugs. Many people who take drugs, particularly uppers, often refer to it as a joyride.

    "and we're all magic friends." Perhaps the drugs were taken with a group of people.

    Not all songs are about being in love, a good song writer has an amazing way with words.
