lyrics

Dance Among the Ruins (Dominique) – Tom Eastland & Rob Eastland

Dominique you light a cigarette
Got to come cool yourself down,
Now you smoke one more sweet joint, and
Try to heal the wounds.
Your dreams lay shattered and
You shuffle about the ruins.
Your dreams lay shattered
You shuffle about the ruins.

You could laugh and play a cynical jester
Responsible for your own world
You lash out, you strike out
and prove you are alone.
You strike out, and prove you are alone.

I would like a cigarette
Got to come cool myself down
C'mon let's down one more steep drink, and
Try to forget the wounds
My dreams lay shattered and
I stumble about the ruins.
My dreams lay shattered and
I stumble about the ruins.

Could hide the pain by winning
Could hide by playing a ghost
You could hide by defending your freedom,
When its you we need the most
You’re defending your freedumb,
When it’s you we need the most

I would like one more sweet fire
Got to come cool myself down
C'mon let's down one more deep breath
And try to heal the wounds.
Our dreams lay shattered
We dance among the ruins
Though our dreams lay shattered
Come dance among the ruins

Tried to hide the love inside,
tried to play those games,
I'll please you, if you'll please me
But don't you dare be late.
That's what I called love, but
That's what you call hate.
That's what I called love, but
That's what you call hate.

I would like one more sweet fire
Got to come cool myself down
C'mon let's down one more deep breath
And try to heal the wounds
Our dreams lay shattered
We dance among the ruins
Though our dreams lay shattered
Come dance among the ruins
Let's dance among these ruins.
