lyrics

Built by the clock
I've got friends with loose change
No holes in my socks
I can't complain.

(Viral Daydream)

And the Martians are invading
I can't keep them from my space
And their poetry's degrading
But they won't say it to my face
And the streets all change their colors
All the houses change their names
We'll be friends in summer weather
But winter's scars will still remain.

How do you wake up from a dream?

Blood for a raft
(Great men sit on mountains of gold)
Mean Monday blues
(Exquisite wine and comfortable shoes)
These hands are not mine
(Is this what I'm dying for?)
Only the bruise.
(This club is not for you)

(Viral Daydream)

We were beautiful in August
Magnificent in May
But our tragedy was sudden
As our comedy was lame
Our millennium in autumn
Will soon fall the way of Rome
In the shadows of its ruins
Lies a misplaced sense of home.

How do you wake up from a dream?
