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
