Raise the roof, that I might see the stars
To gain wisdom, to see things for what they are
Please, I need proofDance till you fall, love till you die
Shut your mouth, raise the roofTrapped 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 horseDance 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 roofPeel 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 realDance 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 roofThe 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 realDance 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 roofDance till you fall, love till you die
Raise the roof
Dance till you fall, love till you die
Raise the roof
