Dancing on Roses Songtext
von 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

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


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
