he speaks like words are  a foreign tongue 
as if he made up his mind too young 
and when he’s dancing he’s also gone 
to fetch what’s missing in the song 

oh anxious dreamer what did I say 
to keep your sullen eyes at bay?
your buoy set above the storm 
what tempest rose to leave you torn? 

and had I the heart to say, 
as wishes wander I’ll start to pray, 
for the thing that’s raging in your bones 
a collapsing cage for your small town throne 

here’s ridicule with her soiled robes 
lively burden at a sold out show 
where you stand on stage and recite the lines 
nothing’s changing but everything’s fine 

like idle hands which begin to fray 
you’re always leaving in the same way 
how high above me can you stand?
before you reach the promise land 

we were there when they let it fall
over the speakers at the shopping mall 
brought it down so you could go
the only place you’ve ever known 
where we try and make it right 
but we vacation here just for the night 

maybe baby you’ll make it work



we don’t trap what makes us home 
just a garbage can we caught on loan
at a lonely museum in a shopping mall
we were there when they let it fall
brought it down so you could go
the only place you’ve ever known 
where we try and make it right 
but we vacation here just for the night
