Mars Volta - Drunkship of lanterns lyrics

Carbon Leaf

Raise the roof, that I might see the stars

To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are

Please, I need proof

Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof

Trapped in the snare with too much dreaming to bear

Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic

Inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course

Like the sagging spirit of an older horse

Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof

Peel back this backdrop, like the lids from my eyes

Put you in plain view, let me visualize

Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real

Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof

The wisest advice to me that I didn't reach

Was to lock up the heart, but keep the key within reach

Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real

Dance till you fall

Love till you die

Shut your mouth

Raise the roof
