(scatter my) ashes, ashes.

ring around the rosie
pockets full of posies
ashes, ashes

well, we’re holding hands
we’re holding tight
don’t let go if me
no, not tonight
we separate
but only just
steal a moment then
it’s only us

what happened to the good old days?
the days where we were young and not afraid
what happened to the nights we used to share?
when you could stand to love me there
oh, we all fall down
we all fall down

you’ve left me cold
now i’m all alone
it’s so quiet in
this empty home
you’ve burned your name
into my heart
our flame went out
before it could start

we all fall down
we all fall down

and we all can bleed
some more than others
add to my “Dirty Deeds”

what happened to the good old days?
the days where we were young and not afraid
what happened to the nights we used to share?
when you could stand to love me there
oh, we all fall down
we all fall down

1, 2, 3, 4
so stand your ground
don’t fall behind
your innocence
is a state of mind
ashes, ashes
look in my eyes
burn all your lies

what happened to the good old days?
the days where we were young and not afraid
what happened to the nights we used to share?
when you could stand to love me there
oh, we all fall down
we all fall down

sing a song, decaying all the while
my heart’s bleeding blue ink on the tile
i’m falling down
(ring around the rosie)
i can’t stand the noise
(pockets full of posies)
laying still with poise
ring around the rosie
oh, pockets full of posies
oh, ashes to ashes we fall…
ashes to ashes we
all.
fall.
down.
