[00:22.150]We were ring-around-the-rosy children
[00:25.290]
[00:25.980]They were circles around the sun
[00:28.500]
[00:29.370]Never give up, never slow down
[00:32.930]Never grow old, never ever die young
[00:36.490]
[00:37.490]Synchronized with the rising moon
[00:41.240]Even with the evening star
[00:44.030]They were true love written in stone
[00:47.950]They were never alone, they were never that far apart
[00:53.200]
[00:55.820]And we who couldn't bear to believe they might make it
[01:00.060]We got to close our eyes
[01:02.990]
[01:03.930]Cut up our losses into doable doses
[01:07.800]Ration our tears and sighs
[01:10.250]You could see them on the street on a Saturday night
[01:15.110]
[01:16.110]Everyone used to run them down
[01:19.050]They're a little too sweet, they're a little too tight
[01:23.300]Not enough tough for this town
[01:26.520]
[01:27.640]We couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole
[01:30.950]
[01:31.510]No, it didn't seem to rattle at all
[01:34.630]They were glued together body and soul
[01:38.810]That much more with their backs up against the wall
[01:45.240]
[01:50.270]Oh, hold them up, hold them up
[01:54.200]Never do let them fall
[01:57.150]Prey to the dust and the rust and the ruin
[02:00.740]That names us and claims us and shames us all
[02:04.130]
[02:23.800]I guess it had to happen someday soon
[02:27.670]wasn't nothing to hold them down
[02:30.620]They would rise from among us like a big balloon
[02:34.660]
[02:35.530]Take to the sky, forsake the ground
[02:38.470]
[02:39.400]Oh, yes, other hearts were broken
[02:42.710]
[02:43.520]Yeah, other dreams ran dry
[02:46.220]But our golden ones sail on, sail on
[02:50.680]To another land beneath another sky
[02:55.430]
[03:01.920]But our golden ones sail on, sail on
[03:05.990]To another land beneath another sky
[03:14.960]
