Chutes and Ladders

How many souls walk the road with me?
The path goes farther than I can see
The ground is firm, I know around this turn there’s a place to be
How many people will sing these blues?
A time to gain and a time to lose
There’s nothing new but damn sometimes it’s good to be paying dues
Chutes and ladders
We will stagger on
Every sunset’s
Someone else’s dawn
Another page in the cosmic book
Life is cliche, we’re still on the hook
The dream we live ain’t lucid, but somehow we still make it through
Chutes and ladders
We will stagger on
Every sunset’s
Someone else’s dawn
