[00:03.58]The most familiar room
[00:07.58]Every implement was leading to you
[00:11.08]And your homely sense of disarray
[00:15.75]Never once the same always rearranged
[00:22.74]But things would never change
[00:26.74]In the scene between the window frame
[00:30.24]Where the jackals preyed on every soul
[00:34.24]Where they tied you to a pole
[00:38.39]And stripped you of your clothes
[00:41.19]I was a dreamer
[00:45.74]Staring at windows
[00:50.44]Out onto the main street
[00:55.24]'Cos that's where the dream goes
[00:59.09]And each time they found
[01:01.84]fresh meat to chew
[01:05.24]I would turn away and return to you
[01:08.69]You would offer me your unmade made
[01:12.99]Feed me till I'm fed
[01:17.49]read me till I'm read
[01:20.29]But when the morning came
[01:24.29]You would catch me at the window again
[01:27.94]In an eyes wide open sleeping state
[01:32.14]Staring into space
[01:36.29]with no look upon my face
[01:38.79]I was a dreamer
[01:43.29]Staring at windows
[01:48.04]Out onto the main street
[01:52.76]'Cos that's where the dream goes
[01:57.56]And when I got older
[02:00.26]when I grew bolder
[02:02.46]Out onto the streets I flew
[02:07.36]Released from your shackles
[02:09.61]I danced with the jackals
[02:12.11]And learned a new way to move
[02:15.77]So before you take
[02:18.47]this song as truth
[02:21.97]You should wonder
[02:23.22]what I'm taking from you
[02:25.42]How I benefit from you being here
[02:29.83]Lending me your ears
[02:34.33]while I'm selling you my fears
[02:36.33]I was a dreamer
[02:39.23]I'm selling you my fears
[02:40.98]Staring at windows
[02:43.98]I'm selling you my fears
[02:45.73]Out onto the main street
[02:48.78]I'm selling you my fears
[02:50.67]'Cos that's where the dream goes
[02:55.46]I was a dreamer
[03:00.05]Staring at windows
[03:04.84]Out onto the main street
[03:09.84]'Cos that's where the dream goes
