and rise above the ground
My head’s nothing but air
& lets anything fair
To make some gay
and others flay.

I think it is
An Amusement Park Ride
I go round and round and rise above the ground
Most amusement park rides do just that going round and round, rising above the ground and going back to where they started.
My head’s nothing but air
Reference about the passengers going at high speeds with the wind in their heads.
& lets anything fair
Reference about the fact that fairs often have amusement park rides.
To make some gay
Gay also means happy which the amusement park ride can definitely contribute to.
and others flay.
Riding in amusement park rides can also cause you to fill ill and whip you around in your seat.
