Becoming a Jackal |
| 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 space 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 |
| 'Cause 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 and 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 grew 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 (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) |
