isn’t everyone waiting to wake,
just a dream, a mistake
in the dead of night
I could live whole lives
if I could freeze the flow
for even just a moment
I’d lift up off the ground and
float by the crowds and
sleep on a still bed of cloud
but I choke on the fumes
til I’m on a merry-go-round
theres nothin I can do but go
down, down
the lights are so bright
and the music’s so loud
half dying of the fright of this fairground
I don’t know my enemy
all that I know is a fantasy
in the pouring rain
I can almost feel again
movie scenes
everything real may as well be a dream
living frame by frame
cus you can’t replay
I would like to let you in
but it defies explaining
try to get off the ride so
we can go hide but
no-one will help me slow down
chasing
joy through technicolour wreckage
wasteland
come find me when it’s turned to ash
when the lights have all blown
one last cold flame remains, I’ll
deal with it soon
when I’m out of this state
the air was so sweet
its still making me spin
they said try your luck
but I just don’t win
