Miles above the ground below No particular place to go Flying higher Stumble back home to the news at 10 Catch a thought Let it go again Flying higher It's a long way down Down's not where I want to be And if these days would never end If laughter was my very oldest friend Not a growing trend Where what I have I always tend to lose By dancing in the devil's shoes The clock strikes 10 at the edge of doubt Nothing I know is my world right now Play on, play on And could I see my soul turn blue Cross the sun Get burnt for you Play on Play on It's a long way home When home is the violet sky And there's a storm in every bottle of wine
There's a ghost that finds me every single time I think of the games we'll miss The playground and the avarice Oh I should learn to know what to keep What to let go Talking out loud is not a good thing to do When you're dancing in the devil's shoes And I wish your face was just your face And not the moonlight's chosen resting place How can the world compare? It's just a planet when you're not there Come watch me hit the ground With the most fantastic sound Talking out loud is not a good thing to do When you're dancing in the devil's shoes Dancing in the devil's shoes Miles above the ground below
