\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Round and Round<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just wearing out a broken frown<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being eaten by a hungry world<\/strong><\/p>\n

Us truants from another time<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

With ribbons from a different rhyme\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Where are we?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Surrounded by Eternity<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Or is it just a dream,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A vision that we\u2019ve seen,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re searching for ecstasy\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

You and me <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just walking over broken glass,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A mirage that will let you down,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Us players in a game of chance,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Random travellers in a magic dance\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Here we are,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Children lost in destiny,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A throw of foolish dice,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The joker comes up twice,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re searching for ecstasy\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

<\/span>So here we go,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For shadows in a picture show,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Unwinding action, real to real,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stargazers from a lonely place,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

To captivate a raptured face\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It may be,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Solutions lost in fantasy,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a rainbow in your heart,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love\u2019s woven from the start<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re searching for ecstasy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
