On the edge of a city in a slow dive

Or so say you

So say you

Crosshairs in the centre of a skyline

Waiting for the right time

Freezing up like a rabbit in the headlights

Oh, what to do?

What to do?

I don’t think I can see it as a good sign

If all of it repeats and rhymes

 

Ringa ringa roses

Oh, we all fall to the ground

Every circle closes

For a penny

For a pound

All these things for God and for king

We all keep going round

Ringa ringa roses

Oh, we all fall to the ground

 

Line them up

Take aim

Who you going to blame?

Imagine that

Oh, imagine that

Shit-scared of the horrors in your own brain

Swimming pools of acid rain

Fill a glass with delusions of The Good Days

Of blood and wine

Of pearls for swine

Never sure if you’re paranoid or entertained

Weighing up the pain and gain

Oh, don’t you feel ashamed?

 

Ringa ringa roses

Oh, we all fall to the ground

Every circle closes

For a penny

For a pound

All these things for God and for king

We all keep going round

Ringa ringa roses

Oh, we all fall to the ground

 

A woman is a woman even if you want her dead

Siphoning the bodies as a way to get ahead

Finding hidden meaning inside everything you read

Driving yourself crazy over who is in whose bed

Stiff upper lip

Shooting from the hip

Running like a rat afraid of sinking with the ship

Are you being fed?

Are you ready yet?

Doesn’t fucking matter

On your marks, get set

 

Ringa ringa roses

Oh, we all fall to the ground

Every circle closes

For a penny

For a pound

All these things for God and for king

We all keep going round

Ringa ringa roses

Oh, we all fall to the ground

 

On your marks, get set

 

Here lies the legacy, the body, the head and the heart

And if I may command your undivided attention

Now we can start

Start

Start

Start
