The way I ynderstand this song is that it doesn't really matter what happens, so you might as well risk it all. Becasue no one will care. It is not literally just a ride at a fair, and I think the tone and lyrics give the lyrics a metaphorical skin. There is a lot of loneliness in this song, which is why there is no reason to care if he dies or anything.
