Race Among the Ruins lyrics

You think you had the last laugh

Now you know this can't be true

Even though the sun shines down upon you now

Sometimes you must feel blue

You make the best of each new day

You try not to be sad

Even though the sky falls down upon you

Call it midnight, feelin' bad

When you wake up to the promise

Of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on

Was it someone that I knew?

Away you will go sailin'

In a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow

Do it soon

The road to love is littered

By the bones of other ones

Who by the magic of the moment

Were mysteriously undone

You try to understand it

But you never seem to find

Any kind of freedom comin' clean

Is just another state of mind

When you wake up to the promise

Of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on

Was it someone that I knew?

Away you will go sailin'

In a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow

Do it soon

So take the best of all that's left

You know this cannot last

Even though your mother was your maker

From her apron strings you pass

Just think about the fool

Who by his virtue can be found

In a most unusual situation

Playin' jester to the clown

When you wake up to the promise

Of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on

Was it someone that I knew?

Away you will go sailin'

In a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow

Do it soon

When you wake up to the promise

Of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on

Was it someone that I knew?

Away you will go sailin'

In a race among the ruins

If you plan to face tomorrow

Do it soon
