Day breaks and I don't care
The kiss of light upon the stairs
Is coming to the doorway
But there's nothing out there

Time's stopped within my mind
Same as all the rest behind
Everything has changed while I was sleeping
One day you'll find she's of another mind
And it won't be long until the night comes creeping

Loud voices fill the sky
Strange faces in her eyes

Fade into the picture and you're always there
Long liquid fingers and a bloodshot stare
Screaming like the way I hear an angel sing
Call you once and fall away from everything

Oh, I know we've already gone
In the direction of the sun
In the direction of the sun

I hid behind the curtain where the serpent went
Watching many moons go by around your head

Come walk down the long hall
In the dim light of morning
Step inside my room, I'm waiting alone
It's so weird that you're finally here
In the place where you're going to see
All the sights and the sounds

And then the animals come out of the jungle
Curious to see us waiting here
On the shore of the crystal blue sea
And the waves meet the ship
That we're going to be on

Locked in this darkened room, a timeless view
Shall I not ponder everything inside
Can't escape my mind
I just let the shadow rot through my soul

But I got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern, it's my invisible lantern

Anxious echoes seal the door
Shoes on the floor kicking in my eye
To all my friends I'm crazy and I'm shut away

Smoke rings drift in the wind
Looks like they're never coming back again
A sideways street till we reach the end
Wishing all the while that I'd never been here

Feeling like the leaves and I blow about fast
Making me think nothing ever lasts
Reflection mirrored in a shade of grey
Now I don't remember why I ever stayed

Dark clouds are moving in
Dogs howl out in the wind

Windshield frames a picture of the night
Cold driving, desert highway line
Road keeps twisting slow so I know
Recognise the diamonds flashing by

Nothing I fear could touch me here
Oh Lord, it won't change

I've seen the way they turn the talk around
And all the children going down
You've got to move along until your gone
You've got to leave this ugly town

Can't get back, can't remind you
We're closer now than I would want to be
They think it's easy if you just imagine
Before the dust will trip you up again

Choose the way that you want to go now
I'll meet you there, meet you there somehow
We leave behind all this worried puzzle
Wake from a dream, I knew you'd be there still

Don't you step into the shadows
Into a place where nobody goes

She senses the presence of the smallest motion
Wasted like a sad devotion
Turns her glance at where I stand
She knows that the time is this
A sweet invader that could never miss
She knows, she knows

Waves of doubt cascading clearly [ah, she knows]
They make believe that I'm no good [ah, she knows]
And her eyes won't find me here
She knows that the time is this

Crystal faces on a windowsill

I can hear them whisper slowly

Like the chill wind

That moves around this room I'm in

They're going places I've never been

Saying words I've never said

Thoughts of logic at once stopped dead

Moving up all around my head

Lines are forming, circling round my eyes

Turning round, voice would never die

Hey Mister Sun outside my doorway

Walk through to this side
I'm sinking in the pale light
Drawing breath in from thin air
When I think about the place I've been

Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side

You stand on a tightrope
You take away and no one knows
The evening sun is dripping fire
And tears are burning into your side

Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side
Walk through to this side

You're climbing down fast
Down where no one can see
Your eyes in the moonlight turn white to blue
Don't think I really want to know where you've been
Just want your grip tight around my skin

I said ivy on the wall
I know way that you creep and crawl

There's a dark-haired girl on a mattress
And there's a room suspended in the air
Echoes screaming through my empty soul
