lyrics

He works from 9 ‘till 9
and wishes he were somewhere else,
in a paper mashee dream
floating on a carnival street
amidst the waterlilies
of roads not taken
and hopes long ago forgotten…

He works from 9 ‘til 9
and wishes he were somebody else,
a six foot Adonis with golden skin
who’s reality bends to his slightest whim…
under the unchained, insatiable momentum
of youth not yet tamed…

I work from 9 ‘till 9,
roaming like a lost thought
through the catacombs of a mind
who’s reins I barely hold…
But it is here, in the dark, that I find myself;
it is here, in the silence, that I hear myself;
it is here, in the tombs of forgotten souls,
that I find myself…

I am just the dreamer
who’s learnt to kiss the sin,
and found that, in a world of tin,
sometimes the gold you seek
lies within…
I am just the dreamer
who’s learnt to kiss the sin,
and found that, in a world of tin,
sometimes the gold you seek
lies within…
