lyrics

a tuesday mangled ride
she felt a storm inside the fearful sun
and stoplights went to shine
this weeping heart of mine
rejected doll
the song was sung

and on my path we sat and stared
in motion, chasing solitaire
and all remains: still all remains...

and out of all the things to do
i'll do anything you want me to
with all the dreams so far away -
but dreams should only be this way
well i was walking down my street
i've been so lost i can't find my feet
and what it all comes crashing down to
is that i've always dreamed of you

the girl was down in spite
'i'll be your friend tonight,' said the radar moon
and from the window sill
it seemed such a bitter pill to swallow soon
(she knew the tune)

the jury sees what comes in time
at four o' clock a clock may chime
but all remains: still all remains

and out of all the things to do
i'll do anything you want me to
with all the dreams so far away -
but dreams should only be this way
well i was walking down my street
i've been so lost i can't find my feet
and what it all comes crashing down to
is that i've always dreamed of you

and what it all comes crashing down to
is that i've always dreamed of you
