Eighteen Dreams

I'VE BEEN INVITING ALL MY FRIENDS

TO MEET THESE VOICES IN MY HEAD

ITS FUNNY LOOKING BACK ON THE THINGS THEY WOULD HAVE SAID

THEY'D SEND ME STRAIGHT TO BED

BUT I WAS EIGHTEEN THEN

 

ONE YEAR FROM NOW WHERE WOULD I BE

WOULD YOU HAVE GROWN NEW SKIN AND I STILL BE ME

WOULD YOU WALK THE COBBLESTONE JUST AS FAST AS FIRE

TURN YOUR EYES BLIND IF WE BURNT THOSE THIEVING LIARS

CAUSE THE SMOKE COULD BURN MUCH BRIGHTER

 

AS THE WIND HURLS THE ROOFTOPS OVER THE TREES

YOU SIT THERE SMIRKING WATCHING THEM SCREAM

BUT HOW YOU LIE THERE LAUGHING WHILE OTHERS DO BLEED

I'D INTRODUCE YOU POLITELY

BUT THEIR ALL TO BLIND TO SEE

 

I'VE BEEN INVITING ALL MY FRIENDS

TO MEET THESE VOICES IN MY HEAD

ITS FUNNY LOOKING BACK ON THE THINGS THEY WOULD HAVE SAID

THEY'D SEND ME STRAIGHT TO BED

BUT I WAS EIGHTEEN THEN

 

BUT THE EAGLE DO FEAST & THE EAGLE DO FLY

NOT CAUGHT IN THAT COOP OF BLOODY WIRE

 

I'VE BEEN INVITING ALL MY FRIENDS

TO MEET THESE VOICES IN MY HEAD

ITS FUNNY LOOKING BACK ON THE THINGS THEY WOULD HAVE SAID

THEY'D SEND ME STRAIGHT TO BED

BUT I WAS EIGHTEEN THEN
