Bought yourself a ride at the starting line
Blows and wars and then you're behind
Rolling the dice and pushing the time
With roses for the dealers
Bending the knees, upending the seas
It's raining death and endless belief
It's a dream, it's always a dream
You're caught in the rails, swept underneath
Every little moment that it takes to decide
What's done is done, but it's there all your life
Rolling the bottles and pushing up the throttles
Like bruises or a fever
Lend me your ear, the ending is near
It's raining bedlam into the clear
It's a dream, it's always a dream
You're caught in the rails, swept underneath
I'll never understand why those cards were dealt to me
Or why I repeated all I never meant to be
In the beginning there was nothing but the sea
But now I'm returning to the arms of ecstasy
