Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away
|
It's not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay
|
Every crash pulls you in reach
|
Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach
|
|
These are just placebos to make us feel all right
|
Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high
|
For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise
|
A moment something restless caught you by surprise
|
Surprise, surprise
|
|
We are so beautiful when we sleep
|
Hearts of gold and eyes so deep, deep, deep
|
But love won't cure the chaos
|
And hope won't hide the loss
|
And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause
|
And love is wild for reasons
|
And hope though short in sight
|
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise
|
Surprise, surprise
|
|
Dream little one
|
See the world just begun
|
|
Love is wild for reasons
|
Hope though short in sight
|
Might be the only thing that brings you back to life
|
For a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise
|
Surprise, surprise
|
