Rose of Jericho Lyrics by Eleventh Dream Day

Lived To Tell

1991

Moving not so far away
The snow was falling, it had been for days
When she ran out with a colored glass vase
She had the look of being saved
Melissa likes to dance the night away
She took off running down the empty street
The vase in her hand
And her sunglasses streaked with snow
Just like a crazed Brigitte Bardot
My friend didn't understand the scenario
Melissa and the vase looking like she had a place to go
Like she knew it had to go
Melissa likes to dance real slow
Watch her go
She ended up next to a graffitied garage
The clean white snow made it seem like a desert mirage
She held the vase far behind her back
Let it fly as it smashed up against the brick
Now she's feeling awfully optimistic
Melissa likes to dance the night away
The colored vase shattered like a meteorite
That crashed through the atmosphere
With flashes of colored light
I wish I had seen this incredible sight
Melissa, the vase blooming like the rose of jericho
