Hey You're living in a dream You're burning all the oxygen here in your little room Waiting for sleep to come Maybe You're more than what it seems Somewhere among the piles of ashes and broken glass There is a sweet thing So welcome to the party, dreamer, it's nice to meet you You've got the world on your shoulders What did they do to you to make You hide your beautiful self with barricades Snakes crawling through ancient stones Nobody's holding your hand, no one's making it easy but I believe You've got more power in the twist of one finger Than all the tyrants and predators The hypocrites will not rest at ease A darker truth will bow down to you I can only see you in silhouette Turn yourself to the light So I can see your face Only broken moments are sacrosanct Turn yourself to the light So I can see your face, your beautiful Face, your beautiful Face, your beautiful Face behind those barricades If you walk with barricades You need a gimlet stare You need a reptile handshake A revolution singing Kumbaya Cos one day they're gonna throw their secrets back on your shoulders You turn the old television off The lion opens its mouth to roar But someone's shaking your shoulders I can only see you in silhouette Turn yourself to the light So I can see your face Only broken moments are sacrosanct Turn yourself to the light So I can see your face, your beautiful Face, your beautiful Face, your beautiful Face behind those barricades I can only see you in silhouette Turn yourself to the light So I can see your face Only broken moments are sacrosanct Turn yourself to the light So I can see your face, your beautiful Face, your beautiful Face, your beautiful Face behind those barricades
