|
We're just half a dream away |
|
Sitting on our fences |
|
Building up defences |
|
Making up rules by which we play |
|
We're just half way down the road |
|
Staking our positions |
|
But stupid superstitions |
|
Only give fools too heavy a load |
|
The magpie screeched and my window is shattered |
|
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered |
|
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen |
|
The cupboard's bare but the door needs closing |
|
We spend half our time away |
|
From being where we want to |
|
And seeing who it's fun to |
|
Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes |
|
We spend half a dream away |
|
Just looking out of windows |
|
Waiting for a signal |
|
Waiting for night to return to day |
|
The tree was bare but the birds were singing |
|
The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching |
|
The meat was dead and |
|
I need me feeding |
|
The room was cold but the night was freezing |
|
The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining |
|
A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning |
|
A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming |
|
A church on fire is struck by lightning |
|
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers |
|
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress |
|
She went insane and poisoned the children |
|
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing |
|
We're just half a dream away... |
