Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Wake up, feel the ceiling
Sea of sunshine, like it's breathing
Being brain waves, moving mouth stays
In the earth space, it's time for feeding
[Chorus]
But we travel over the gunshots
We are pacing on the sunspots
We are shopping, looking for perfect things
Wait for you, and what your hearts brings
[?] days
[Verse 2]
You look like cannibals
Stroking the cardboard
Hunting like animals
For a seat, a seat or a better view
Inside you is wax, can you find the real you?
[Chorus]
If you sing, put on your objects
Nothing is correct, tied up in string
Can you sing, you gambling dinosaurs?
Because you know not what they bring
[Bridge]
Here we are, in our little scene
Eating each other, feeding on milk
It's almost rancid, thinking nowhere
Feeding on time, forgetting your time, goodbye
[Verse 3]
You walk through the snow, what do I know?
I feel the wind blow
I'm a magnet covered with grime
Waiting for spring, making it mine
[Refrain]
It's a dream, It's a dream
It's a dream, It's a dream
[Instrumental Outro]
