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
