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) |
