Lyrics:

  • Protected dreams of jealousy
  • leave nothing worth forsaking
  • Judge the matter how you will
  • that prize is not worth taking

  • Dance a hole right through the floorboard
  • Dance a hole right through your shoe
  • When the midnight show is over
  • what else have you got to do?

  • Roll away the half-blind vision
  • dressed in stars by winter light
  • Close the door to crippled highways
  • song by song that filled the night
  • Bend it into unclear spaces
  • Save the eye but lose the sight
  • Does it matter when it's over
  • if the truth were even right?

  • You can play with power and money
  • You can play with towers above
  • Draw the line there, if you're able
  • Don't you ever play with love
  • Don't play with love
  • Don't you ever play with love

  • A hundred pipers on the highway
  • Blink your eye, they're gone again
  • Crimson stars on blue-white banners
  • westwood ho! through ten years' rain
  • Outraged senses cry: Be numb
  • you just cause us further pain
  • Still the neon river beckons
  • Star-crossed lovers bloom again

  • Dance a hole right through the floorboard
  • Dance a hole right through your shoe
  • In the hour 'tween blood and roses
  • what else have you got to do?

  • Could you break the gray, cold vision
  • come to terms with what you can?
  • Proceed from there, if you're able
  • with just the ground on which you stand?
  • The past is not the only highway
  • Why go roll it out again?
  • The future's in the unborn river
  • of this morning's cloudless rain

  • In my lady's winter palace
  • dreamward as the summer lies
  • I mistook a flight of swallows
  • for the questions in your eyes

  • Broken words defending highways
  • Shining bright like April rain
  • Loving lies and wrong decisions
  • Yes, I guess it comes again
  • Yes, I guess it comes again

  • Dance a hole right through the floorboard
  • Dance a hole right through your shoe
  • In the hour 'tween blood and roses
  • what else have you got to do?
