I took a rollercoaster 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
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
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
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
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 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
