Round and Round
Just wearing out a broken frown
Being eaten by a hungry world
Us truants from another time
With ribbons from a different rhyme…
Where are we?
Surrounded by Eternity
Or is it just a dream,
A vision that we’ve seen,
When you’re searching for ecstasy…
You and me
Just walking over broken glass,
A mirage that will let you down,
Us players in a game of chance,
Random travellers in a magic dance…
Here we are,
Children lost in destiny,
A throw of foolish dice,
The joker comes up twice,
When you’re searching for ecstasy…
So here we go,
For shadows in a picture show,
Unwinding action, real to real,
Stargazers from a lonely place,
To captivate a raptured face…
It may be,
Solutions lost in fantasy,
There’s a rainbow in your heart,
Love’s woven from the start
When you’re searching for ecstasy.
