Superstition lyrics

It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far

No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found

"Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down"

Kiss them for me -- I may be delayed
Kiss them for me -- if I am delayed

You awoke in a burning paperhouse
From the infinite fields
Of dreamless sleep
You return to Tiannamen
An eyewitness in a shroud
To see them fall, feel them yield
Relieving the terror of the crowd

Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
Just for a moment, I seemed to know
Hold the whirlwind, don't let it blow
I seemed to know the ghost in you

The whisper of your scream

Softly into your broken veins
Softly into these broken dreams
Will you ever come home?
Will you ever be found?
Standing on shattered windowpane
Softly I whisper your name
Concealed in bedclothes of frosting cold
Softly the snowflakes start to fall
Fleecing the velvet skin
Suspended in frozen time
Icicles slowly drip outside
To the rhythm of your wounds here inside

Clouds roll by overhead
Like giant rays coast a dried up ocean bed
Dancing winds blow a parody
Of swirling currents in a long forgotten sea

Shimmer glimmer
Shimmer on me
The sparkling souls of dreaming children call
Shimmer glimmer
Shimmer on me
It streets that shine like silver waterfalls

In your eyes in the skies
In the blood burning Indian sunrise

Got to get up, get into life
Got to get up and live this life
Got to get up and win this life

No more looking down -- look up
Skyward up your eyes -- devour the sun Now!

Gonna shake my bones gonna shed my skin
Shake out what's mine, shake out this thing
I'm gonna shake my bones, gonna shed my skin
Shake out what's mine, shake out this thing

I've been here too long -- now I'm up

Alone and left to ponder everything
Alone and left to puzzle out all the pain
Such a silly, silly, silly thing
You must catch it and cease it while you can

Accusations flying -- colliding cheek to cheek
Button up your lip and think before you speak
Oh see him fly into a rage
See her cry in her tantrum cage
Too blind to halt this stupid game
Silly thing

The voice asleep, the voice has vanished
From the top of the sky to the place below
Touch the surface and the mirror bends
Your words resound, out of control

Freeze into time now

Still inside yet doubt survives
It all begins beneath the skin
No-one is near, no-one will hear
Your changeling song takes shape
In Shadowtime

Turn your wish to a vapour, the silhouette fades

Here I sit in paradise
My head between my hands

Little sister, break your vow
Break down, the sacred side
Little sister, break the rules
Break me in two

Little sister, now you're gone
Let's just say it's a mercy kill
But little sister, you've left me
Howling at the moon

If you touched my heart
You might be surprised
You'd be paralyzed

Will the free hand of captivity

Drifter -- sleepwalk
Drifter -- sleeptalk
Awake to who is following

Moving -- like water
Moving -- drifting on the wind
A drifter coming in
Then I dreamt that I awoke
And all around was asleep
With eyes in the back of my head
Awake to who is following

... Drifter coming in
Never touching down -- never leaving ground
A twilight world in which we roam

Cry for the bird with broken wing
Cry for the world that will not spin
Cry for the loss of innocence
Cry for a love, turned loveless

Sometimes I think of you, when I'm alone

Oh no Cry...

Nothing will ever be the same
All is ruined and put to shame
Tears and stars are one and the same
When I look up through my focused lens

But sometimes I think of you, when I'm alone

I get the feeling -- I'm not alone
I get the feeling -- it's someone I don't know

Do you ever have the strange sensation
When you're standing mighty tall
To jump from 17 floors and crash into freefall?
But then fear takes control -- fear of the unknown

Imagines two complete strangers
Who suspect they were meant to be
Both in need of love and affection
