Walking On Hells Roof - John Langford

G

History is written by the winner

D

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 burn out smoking wreck

Expectations and ambitions

Were just a rope around my neck

Broke my back to earn a crust

Saw my dreams die in the dust

Now Im walking on hells roof, looking at the flowers

All in bloom, red, yellow and blue

So sweet and true

Theres nothing better to do

Am I hardened come and find me

What am I doing this will need to remind me

Walking on hells roof, looking at the flowers

In the air at three hundred miles per hour

Keeping within reach of the higher powers

Where the bees are buzzing in the april showers

The spoils belong to the victor

This is a consolation song

Your life is science fiction

In a flash then youll be gone

Theres no more trials and no more troubles

Bad luck at  bursting bubbles

Walking on hells roof looking at the flowers
