Lyrics
I've been riding a careening roller coaster ever since I left home
There were times when I knew I was out there, all on my own
I was left with the empty surprise, of the fall that follows the rise
I've done my share of the giving, left only with a compromise
Up and down those Snakes And Ladders
A children's game of towers we aspire to climb
No matter how tall they may seem at the time
Up and down those Snakes And Ladders
Take one step ahead and fall three right back in line
All revved up to break down and unwind
Now there is never any telling what will be on the cards tomorrow
I only follow my heart where experience says I should go
But nothing's a safe enough bet, there ain't a pattern that's set
If life is there for the taking
I'm looking for that elusive get
Up and down those Snakes And Ladders
A children's game of towers we aspire to climb
No matter how tall they may seem at the time
Up and down those Snakes And Ladders
Get one step ahead to fall three right back in line
All revved up to break down and unwind
I was left with the empty surprise, of the fall that follows the rise
I've done my share of the giving, left only with a compromise
Up and down those Snakes And Ladders
A children's game of towers we aspire to climb
No matter how tall they may seem at the time
Up and down those Snakes And Ladders
Take one step ahead and fall three right back in line
All revved up to break down and unwind
