Dancing On Roses - Hybrid Children

I took a roller coaster ride

On the highest tide

Danced to its rhythm

It gave me the words that rhymed

I’d still erase so many days

If I only could

Like the ones when you knifed my back

Like no friend should

If man’s life is sometimes cruel

Death is even more

Wait for the punchline

And it may never come

Sometimes all somebody needs

Is a second chance

I’d give it all up to you

To you

Dancing on roses

No time to smell their scent

Forever stretching my youth

I don’t know where it went

Dancing on roses

Deaf, dumb and blind

Don’t let the life pass you by

Goodbye

Everything I ever wrote

Ends up in a blue note

Wait for the punchline

And it may never come

We pay to play

We play to lose

We lose for good

Settling on truth number two

And now I’ve downed my hourglass

I’m sorry yours too

Farewell for now

We’ve had our time my friend

Those days disappear from view

I guess we both knew

We’re after the same rainbow’s end

Dancing on roses

No time to smell their scent

Forever stretching my youth

I don’t know where it went

Dancing on roses

Deaf, dumb and blind

Don’t let the life pass you by

Dancing on roses

No time to smell their scent

Living a lie won’t get you by

You’re much too young to die

Dancing on roses

Deaf, dumb and blind

Don’t let your life pass you by

Goodbye
