The most familiar room Every implement was leading to you And your homely sense of dissaray Never once the same Always rearranged But things would never change In the seam between the window frame Where the jackals preyed on every soul Where they tied you to a pole And stripped you of your clothes
I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes
And each time they found fresh meat to chew I would turn away and return to you You would offer me your unmade bed Feed me till I'm fed And read me till I'm read But when the morning came You would catch me at the window again In an eyes wide open sleeping state Staring into space With no look upon my face
I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes
And when I got older When I grew older Out onto the streets I flew Released from your shackles I danced with the Jackals And learned a new way to move So before you take this song as truth You should wonder what I'm taking from you How I benefit from you being here Lending me your ears While I'm selling you my fears
I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears) Staring at windows (I'm selling you my fears) Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears) Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you...)
I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes
I used to write, I used to write letters I used to sign my name I used to sleep at night Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met By the time we met the times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter I never took my true heart I never wrote it down So when the lights cut out I was left standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast Now our lives are changing fast Hope that something pure can last Hope that something pure can last
It seems strange anekatips How we used to wait for letters to arrive But what's stranger still Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait We used to waste hours just walking around We used to wait All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
oooo we used to wait oooo we used to wait oooo we used to wait Sometimes it never came (oooo we used to wait) Sometimes it never came (oooo we used to wait) Still moving through the pain (oooooo)
