Becoming A Jackal
The most familiar roomEvery implement was leading to youAnd your homely sense of disarrayNever once the same, always rearrangedBut things would never changeIn the scene between the window frame Where the jackals preyed on every soulWhere they tied you to a pole And stripped you of your clothesI was a dreamerStaring at windowsOut onto the main streetCos that's where the dream goesAnd each time they found fresh meat to chewI would turn away and return to youYou would offer me your unmade madeFeed me till I'm fed, read me till I'm readBut when the morning cameYou would catch me at the window againIn an eyes wide open sleeping stateStaring into space, with no look upon my faceI was a dreamerStaring at windowsOut onto the main streetCos that's where the dream goesAnd when I got older, when I grew bolderSongtexteOut onto the streets I flewReleased from your shacklesI danced with the jackalsAnd learned a new way to moveSo before you take this song as truthYou should wonder what I'm taking from youHow I benefit from you being hereLending me your ears while I'm selling you my fearsI 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)Cos that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you)I was a dreamerStaring at windowsOut onto the main streetCos that's where the dream goes.
