Our lives are hanging in the balance Or they're dangling by a thread A spark of life brought down from an angel To raise the stranger from the dead Once more we're cheating on the reaper With all the gypsy in our souls Cause I know there's a God up in heaven Who must love rock and roll Once again we sail home to Sarasota As the ocean awash the gunwale But she still keeps her head above water Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale And here's to the you for always hangin' in Without you there's no reason to go I'd be lying face down in some river Waiting on an angel to take me back home Once again we sail home to Sarasota With the ocean awash the gunwale But she still keeps her head above water Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale Solo: Once again we sail home to Sarasota With the ocean awash the gunwale But she still keeps her head above water Guess we're all gonna live to tell this tale
