THOSE ANCIENT ROADS

[Verse 1] Lapis lazuli and lovers Bite of an asp in the covers Better beware of your brother Where solipsism reigns I wonder is anything changing Same old refrain different cadence Is time just a great rearrangement of echos long ago? [Chorus] Is it the same old story told? Are we just stumbling down the same old roads? Fighting over fire 'til the world grows cold, oh Say it isn't so Those ancient roads [Verse 2] Love not a dream but so fragile (Ooh, ooh-ooh) And the heart is so cunning and agile (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Longs for another a while (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) 'Til self falls in love with denial Oh we in our infinite wisdom (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Oh, we like the story of Eden (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Still thinking the best fruits forbidden (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Now living out loss getting even [Chorus] And I fear it in my soul Death for ourselves that's where the love gets sold Can't share the warmth cause we can't share the cold, oh Say isn't so Those ancient roads [Verse 3] Well I read a book and it read me Reflected in part with each story Those ancient roads stretching before me Like history as sticky as honey But I'll place a flower in your hair (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh) And we'll dance the hills in the sun's glare (Ooh-ooh-ooh) And I'll call your feelings my own cares (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) And we'll take the road that all dreams dare (Ooh-ooh-ooh) We'll take the road that all dreams dare (Ooh-ooh-ooh) (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) [Outro] Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
