lyrics

History is written by the winner. This is a losers song.
I took this job in the summer, never saw the winter rolling on.
Never thought it would end in a second. A burned out smoking wreck.
Expectations and ambitions, were just a rope around my neck.

Broke my back to earn their trust
Saw my dreams die in the dust,
Now I’m walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers
I’m walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers

All in bloom, all yellow and blue
So sweet and true, there’s nothing better to do.
I’m not hiding come and find me
What am I doin’? There’s no need to remind me
Now I’m walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers.

In the A to B and the miles per hour
Keeping out of reach of the higher power
Where the bees are buzzing in the April showers

The spoils belong to the victor, this is a concelation song.
Your life is science fiction, in a flash you’ll be gone
No more trials and no more troubles.
Bad luck and bursting bubbles
Just walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers
Walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers

SOLO

We’re not hiding come and find us
What are we doin’? There’s no need to remind us
Walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers.
We’re walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers.
We’re walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers.
We’re walking on hell’s roof, looking at the flowers.
