Roo Panes 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
