Lyrics
0:04The most familiar room
0:08Every implement was leading to you
0:11And your homely sense of disarray
0:16Never once the same always rearranged
0:23But things would never change
0:27In the scene between the window frame
0:31Where the jackals preyed on every soul
0:34Where they tied you to a pole
0:38And stripped you of your clothes
0:41I was a dreamer
0:46Staring at windows
0:51Out onto the main street
0:55Cos that's where the dream goes
0:59And each time they found fresh meat to chew
1:05I would turn away and return to you
1:09You would offer me your unmade bed
1:13Feed me till I'm fed read me till I'm read
1:21But when the morning came
1:24You would catch me at the window again
1:28In an eyes wide open sleeping state
1:32Staring into space with no look upon my face
1:39I was a dreamer
1:43Staring at windows
1:48Out onto the main street
1:53Cause that's where the dream goes
1:58And when I got older when I grew bolder
2:03Out onto the streets I flew
2:08Released from your shackles
2:10I danced with the jackals
2:12And learned a new way to move
2:16So before you take this song as truth
2:22You should wonder what I'm taking from you
2:26How I benefit from you being here
2:30Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears
2:36I was a dreamer
2:39I'm selling you my fears
2:41Staring at windows
2:44I'm selling you my fears
2:46Out onto the main street
2:49I'm selling you my fears
2:51Cause that's where the dream goes
2:54I'm selling you
2:56I was a dreamer
3:00Staring at windows
3:05Out onto the main street
3:10Cause that's where the dream goes
The most familiar room Every implement was leading to you And your homely sense of disarray Never once the same always rearranged But things would never change In the scene between the window frame Where the jackals preyed on every soul Where they tied you to a pole And stripped you of your clothes I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cos that's where the dream goes And each time they found fresh meat to chew I would turn away and return to you You would offer me your unmade bed Feed me till I'm fed read me till I'm read But when the morning came You would catch me at the window again In an eyes wide open sleeping state Staring into space with no look upon my face I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes And when I got older when I grew bolder Out onto the streets I flew Released from your shackles I danced with the jackals And learned a new way to move So before you take this song as truth You should wonder what I'm taking from you How I benefit from you being here Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears I was a dreamer I'm selling you my fears Staring at windows I'm selling you my fears Out onto the main street I'm selling you my fears Cause that's where the dream goes I'm selling you I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes
