Sweet Dreams of Otherness (Live at St. Catharines, ON, 2022)
[Intro]
This song's called "Sweet Dreams of Otherness"
[Verse 1]
Flashes lit up the darkness of wartime
You can see the paleness of worn nerves
These were the places that made us
Now they're riddled with the ghosts of another world
[Pre-Chorus]
Born to live again
Standing strange in a sea of beige
I'm spun and naked
And reckless like a dream
[Chorus]
Sweet dreams of otherness
In memory of mankind
I am listening but I can't hear you
Well, maybе I'm losing my mind
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I'm losing my mind
[Verse 2]
Soft explosions echo from thе rooftops
It must be the call of youthful noise
Finally in the age that we were born
Ancient language with a modern voice
[Pre-Chorus]
Born to live again
Standing strange in a sea of beige
I'm spun and naked
And reckless like a dream
[Chorus]
Sweet dreams of otherness
In memory of mankind
I am listening but I can't hear you
Well, maybe I'm losing my mind
Sweet dreams of otherness
In memory of mankind
I am listening but I can't hear you
Well, maybe I'm losing my mind
[Bridge]
Exhaust in the purple skies
Perspiration stings my eyes
Impervious from north to south
I hold the embers in my mouth
(Maybe I'm losing my mind) I'm spun and naked
And reckless like a dream
(Maybe I'm losing my mind) I'm spun and naked
And reckless like a dream
[Outro]
Listening but I can't hear you
