i wanna sleep in the arms of a lion under the open Texas sky i wanna sleep in the arms of a lion on ten thousand moonlit nights i don't know if my words will reach you or if your heart is open to care or if your arms are ever reaching and hoping to find me there but there's a lover inside me loving every inch that i've seen of you every beat of your heart, every well-spoken thought every note that reminds me of you i wanna sleep in the arms of a lion under the open Texas sky i wanna sleep in the arms of a lion on ten thousand moonlit nights

he's out looking for something he'll never find those city streets are calling him every single night all the pretty girls, they fall for him every single night but they're wanting something they will never find and all the while all the while she's in the background thinking you can have it all you can have it all she's looking in the mirror for something she'll never find i'm staring but i never see me she sees an illusion, a physical prison but her soul her soul feels pretty and free and all the while all the while he's in the background singing you can have it all you can have it all open your heart you can have it all

side by side 04:40
i had a dream we were flying side by side our wings were made of the ashes of a thousand lonesome nights i had a dream we were flying side by side i have a hundred reasons to run away all i need is one but this time i don't wanna run this time i don't wanna run i had a dream we were dancing side by side dressed in red, we were losing our heads we were feeling so alive i had a dream we were dancing side by side i had a dream we were dreaming and the dream became our life..

i'm alone in crowded corridors making space for time i'm hearing a loud persistent voice a voice that sounds like mine and it just keeps repeating it just keeps repeating everyone has got to go mad everyone has got to go mad go mad as soon as possible it doesn't make any difference where you are or what you do or how many times i fall to pieces because all my pieces are a part of you all my pieces are a part of you and you are a part of me too and it just keeps repeating and i just keep breathing everyone has got to go mad everyone has got to go mad go mad as soon as possible

waking life 03:42
it's been days that i've been watching a surreal life unfold moving pictures on eyelids my eyes when they are closed though temperatures are falling and wind is getting cold i feel my blood is warming 'cause you are coming home it's been weeks that i've been dreaming of prophecies untold prophecies of another world a world still unknown though temperatures are falling and wind is getting cold i feel my blood is warming 'cause you are coming home it's been months that i've been knocking on walls made out of stone and years that i've been feeling the beat of my heart alone but now i feel my blood is warming 'cause you are coming home i feel my blood is warming 'cause you are coming home.

be still my dear, be still this love will only grow beat silently, my heart he knows he knows he knows it's the way you sing, you pretty thing you've trapped me in your glow it's the way you scream, my vintage queen it's the way you steal the show be still my dear, be still it's time i let you know if you're not the one for me, my love then i'm better off alone

untitled 04:32
quietly the record spins i'm lying here hypnotized again paralyzed, again and i know things aren't as fragile as they sometimes seem but do you know how it feels to believe in so many things that can't be seen? i scan the horizon for a sign, a sense of relief and i wait for the day to come

rush 02:53
a rush of blood to the head this feeling never stops the fairytale will continue when you turn off all your thoughts i softly whisper, "remember me" when these times have long been gone whether we run away or surrender whether this game is lost or won a rush of blood to the heart this feeling never stops this fairytale will continue when we've turned off all our thoughts

bridges 03:46
visions of bridges stretch from nightfall to dawn moving forward gracefully without our headlights on puzzle pieces hover, then drop down into place in my mind these visions cannot be erased visions of bridges stretch from nightfall to dawn moving forward gracefully without your headlights on puzzle pieces hover, then fly off into space in my mind your image cannot be replaced visions of bridges stretch from nightfall to dawn moving forward gracefully without our headlights on puzzle pieces hover, then drop down into place in my mind these visions cannot be erased while you're gone i'll be here believing in your sunny day it cannot be erased it cannot be erased

figure eight 03:08
spinning around in circles our arms stretched out for miles cross-eyed and dizzy don't you dare look down this is just the way it has to be this is just the way it has to be don't you dare fall down climbing toward the sunrise vines twist into a figure eight fearless and lovely they don't dare look down don't you dare look down don't you dare fall down

i'm losing all the things i never wanted to keep it's like waking up from death again to breathe all the ghosts are gone now, the slate has been wiped clean so ride, ride on 'til the monkeys are off your back he said fly, fly on and don't you ever turn back you know the freeway is no place for a pair of red balloons to be but the rebel in you will meet up with the outlaw in me when living replaces this hot hot air we speak so ride, ride on 'til the monkeys are off your back he said fly, fly on and don't you ever turn back
