[00:07.50]There is fiction in the space between
[00:11.50]The lines on your page of memories
[00:14.50]Write it down but it doesn't mean
[00:19.50]You're not just telling stories
[00:23.50]
[00:38.50]There is fiction in the space between
[00:43.50]You and reality
[00:46.50]You will do and say anything
[00:50.50]To make your everyday life
[00:52.50]Seem less mundane
[00:53.50]There is fiction in the space between
[00:58.50]You and me
[01:00.50]
[01:17.50]There's a science fiction in the space between
[01:22.50]You and me
[01:25.50]A fabrication of a grand scheme
[01:29.50]Where I am the scary monster
[01:32.50]I eat the city and as I leave the scene
[01:37.50]In my spaceship I am laughing
[01:40.50]In your remembrance of your bad dream
[01:44.50]There's no one but you standing
[01:48.50]
[02:05.50]Leave the pity and the blame
[02:08.50]For the ones who do not speak
[02:12.50]You write the words to get respect and compassion
[02:16.50]And for posterity
[02:20.50]You write the words and make believe
[02:23.50]There is truth in the space between
[02:26.50]
[02:33.50]There is fiction in the space between
[02:37.50]You and everybody
[02:41.50]Give us all what we need
[02:45.50]Give us one more sad sordid story
[02:49.50]But in the fiction of the space between
[02:53.50]Sometimes a lie is the best thing
[02:57.50]
[03:01.50]Sometimes a lie is the best thing
[03:05.50]
[03:11.50]The best thing
[03:13.50]
[03:19.50]Is the best thing
[03:22.50]
