Raindance Lyrics - Johnny Hates Jazz

If paradise is such a fragile affair 

Then why have we the lion's share? 

As if we walk the earth alone 

Like infants breaking the cradle 

There isn't anything we fail to corrupt 

The flip-side of the Midas touch 

We're walking in a world of glass 

With iron footsteps 

We do the raindance every night 

And I hope the Gods will treat us right 

And if the sky should tumble down 

Will it quench our thirst or crush us to the ground? 

Have you a ticket to the greatest event? 

The world inside a circus tent 

Where clowns debate disarmament 

And wildlife live within cages 

The parody is never far from the truth 

And mankind is the living proof 

A dying planet in our arms 

We walk the tightrope 

The answer's very simple 

A world without its people 

Has got to be better than this
