Around The Roller Rink

let's stay in bed
for the whole day
don't want to go

we won't regret
what we're wasting
and I know now
where I fit in

and though the day
we slowly sink
in the time it takes
to swallow or blink
if you have a thirst
but you do not drink
what use have you
come, fill your glass
with me

surely, I would pass away
if I let you go
if I let you go home

without me
it's an addiction
just one more time
just one more taste

and though the dance
is as slow as sleep
and I don't know
whether I follow or lead
it's the best thing
that could ever be
just to hold your hand
and waltz around the roller rink
