Distant Dreams
This city, everywhere I go, I see faces I know
All in their different zones
As we're flying through this world underground
And my eyes are wide shut, I'm not hearing a sound
Time standing still
Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled
Empty places for the disenchanted
Pass and fade away
Distant dreams, where I go
Distant dreams, when I'm low
As they echo in my head
Distant dreams, how they flow
Distant dreams, moving slow
As I'm falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind
Faces distorted by pressure
Everyone forced together
Spilling out through the doors
No more spaces
It's a dog-eat-dog world
And a mad free-for-all
Maybe room for one more
Time standing still
Surrounded by sad hearts unfulfilled
Empty places for the disenchanted
Pass and fade away
Distant dreams, where I go
Distant dreams, when I'm low
As they echo in my head
Distant dreams, how they flow
Distant dreams, moving slow
As I'm falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind
Distant dreams, where I go
Distant dreams, when I'm low
As they echo, echo in my head
Distant dreams, how they flow
Distant dreams, moving slow
As heartbreak surrounds me
And heartache has found me
Distant dreams, where I go
Distant dreams, when I'm low
As they echo in my head
Distant dreams, how they flow
Distant dreams, moving slow
As I'm falling out of time
I still have distant dreams here in my mind
