She took my hand, and then she said to me “There are things underneath, that you have never seen,” So I closed my eyes and we started to fly And everything froze when she stopped time And when the lights stopped shining I could see so clear It looked like forever, but it was oh so near And I saw through the lies that were stuck to time And for the first time, it all felt like mine “Look around, and tell me what you see Behind the halls of shining groceries” A man in a screen hooked up to his machine A world put to sleep in a sullen fantasy Bugs on the glass patient for the crack Lions waiting in the pavement for the sheep My clothes fell off and my hair blew free I felt just like a child, naked and carefree And we took my mask off finally So we could see the original face underneath This is home to me, this memory But when my heart stopped beating, I knew it was real After the blood stopped dripping and I let it in Could one life be over, and the next begin “Look around, and tell me what you see With the new eyes that I gave to thee” The great boat in the sky cracked on a frozen dream Bodies piled, disposed like batteries SongtexteCome rats, scurrying, filling up the decks The dogs of doubt are breathing down their necks “Look around, tell me who you see Up there where the blue lights never cease” A dull man staring into space Dollar signs burned onto his face Another man with a golden key To wake the man and then put him back to sleep In boredom came such barbarity I saw things that I thought could never be The sun looks strange Joyce, has it been changed? Look around, tell me what you see Aus Songtexte Mania
