Race Among the Ruins

You call it midnight feelin' bad
Away you will go sailin'
Do it soon

Even though the sun shines down upon
Away you will go sailin'
Of your dream world comin' true
You make the best of each new day
Away you will go sailin'
When you wake up to the promise
Just think about the fool
In a most unusual situation
Away you will go sailin'
Who by the magic of the moment
From her apron strings you pass
Do it soon
You try not to be sad
With one less friend to call on
Even though the sky falls down upon
If you plan to face tomorrow
By the bones of other ones
Was it someone that I knew

You try to understand it
Of your dream world comin' true

When you wake up to the promise
If you plan to face tomorrow
Was it someone that I knew
But you never seem to find

In a race among the ruins

In a race among the ruins
Do it soon
Who by his virtue can be found
When you wake up to the promise
Of your dream world comin' true
You know sometimes you must feel blue

With one less friend to call on
Was it someone that I knew
Is just another state of mind
Were mysteriously undone
Even though your mother was your maker
The road to love is littered

With one less friend to call on
Any kind of freedom comin' clean
In a race among the ruins
Of your dream world comin' true

With one less friend to call on
When you wake up to the promise
If you plan to face tomorrow
Playin' jester to the clown
You know this cannot last
So take the best of all that’s left
If you plan to face tomorrow
Was it someone that I knew
In a race among the ruins
