Becoming A Jackal-Villagers

[00:03.64]The most familiar room [00:07.61]Every implement was leading to you [00:11.22]And your homely sense of disarray [00:15.52]Never once the same, always rearranged [00:22.95]But things would never change [00:26.73]In the scene between the window frame [00:30.19]Where the jackals preyed on every soul [00:34.27]Where they tied you to a pole [00:38.37]And stripped you of your clothes [00:41.17]I was a dreamer [00:45.81]Staring at windows [00:50.40]Out onto the main street [00:55.06]Cos that's where the dream goes [00:59.09]And each time they found fresh meat to chew [01:04.90]I would turn away and return to you [01:08.69]You would offer me your unmade bed [01:13.23]Feed me till I'm fed, read me till I'm read [01:20.15]But when the morning came [01:24.15]You would catch me at the window again [01:27.46]In an eyes wide open sleeping state [01:32.25]Staring into space, with no look upon my face [01:38.93]I was a dreamer [01:42.86]Staring at windows [01:47.87]Out onto the main street [01:52.47]Cause that's where the dream goes [01:57.38]And when I got older, when I grew bolder [02:02.18]Out onto the streets I flew [02:07.05]Released from your shackles [02:09.39]I danced with the jackals [02:12.02]And learned a new way to move [02:15.34]So before you take this song as truth [02:21.43]You should wonder what I'm taking from you [02:25.10]How I benefit from you being here [02:29.41]Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears [02:37.55]I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears) [02:40.32]Staring at windows (I'm selling you my fears) [02:45.85]Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears) [02:50.66]Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you) [02:55.72]I was a dreamer [03:00.27]Staring at windows [03:04.83]Out onto the main street [03:09.63]Cause that's where the dream goes.
