Last night I dreamt one thousand lies
|
I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes
|
There in my slumber passing time
|
Long live the world resting on its side
|
|
I walked the orchard with you
|
Your hand in mine
|
In the evergreens drinking wine
|
I saw the snow fall in black and white
|
Fram the auburn sky
|
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
|
Not one of them survived
|
|
Up through the earth and at dawn I came
|
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain
|
In the vacuum of my own brigade
|
Resurrected to make you mine
|
|
Orpheus looked back once
|
She sailed the underworld
|
No second chances will be earned
|
I have returned as a phantom now
|
To walk the bow and stern
|
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
|
Not one of them survived
|
|
If we could do better I know that we would
|
Maybe admit it now, we're not that good
|
We keep the needle between zero and one
|
You play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumb
|
|
Into the pastures of our minds
|
Goes my nearly beloved and I
|
Blazing two parallel white lines
|
Through this broken heart spilt open wide
|
|
Time may be on my side
|
But it's mostly far behind
|
I was the apple of your eye
|
Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there
|
Stuck with knives
|
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
|
Not one of them survived
|
