Ruarri Joseph As Long As You Do Too
Where is it I run
When the stakes grow wild and fruitless
And history comes undone
And renders ties and memories rootless?
What’s a man to do
To accept his fate as humble?
The dreams all black and blue
From the hop and skip and stumble
If it’s dreams I seek and desire
There’s no room left to get any higher
For the world has swerved and lost track
Kicking stones at the weak that can’t kick back
Where to go now?
Where to dance?
I’ll stay right here
I’ll take my chance
As long as you do too.
Tough as it may seem
I dare not look at what’s beneath me
A pyramid unclean
A sorry state that makes me guilty
And my woes crack and don’t hold steed
They’re a minion watching the birth of greed
All the hooks and holes I try to face
Are the swallowed ground that we can’t replace
Where to go now?
Where to dance?
I’ll stay right here
I’ll take my chance
As long as you do too.
As long as you do too.
