Raise the roof, that I might see the stars
To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are
Please, I need proof


Dance till you fall
Love till you die

Shut your mouth
Raise the roof


Trapped in the snare with too much dreaming to bear
Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic
Inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course

Like the sagging spirit of an older horse

Dance till you fall

Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof


Dance till you fall
Love till you die

Shut your mouth
Raise the roof


Peel back this backdrop, like the lids from my eyes
Put you in plain view, let me visualize
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real

Dance till you fall

Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof


Dance till you fall
Love till you die

Shut your mouth
Raise the roof


The wisest advice to me that I didn't reach
Was to lock up the heart, but keep the key within reach
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel

Touch me again till I wake and it's real

Dance till you fall

Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof


Dance till you fall
Love till you die

Shut your mouth
Raise the roof


Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth

Raise the roof

Dance till you fall

Love till you die
Raise the roof


Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Raise the roof
