Dance with Death lyrics
by Hurray for the Riff Raff
Dance with death
You had a dance with death
Always walking around with bones around your neck
Wrapped yourself in an ivy vine
Now your doomed to the sky
Always trying to reach a little too high
Even death has its own shadow
So why are you trying to burn yours apart?
Maybe the moth is drawn to the flame
'Cause it's scared of the dark
Well, you can build your ladder of chairs up the wall
You will reach to the sky, if the wind don't blow too hard
Well, you can send me a letter in the mail
Don't have to lie, you're not coming home again
And we all look like ants from way up in your tower
But I'd rather live like a bug down here
At least something can grow
Well, all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put you back together again
You fell
Well, all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put you back together again
You fell
