Paul Dempsey
Idiot Oracle
[Verse 1]
I got myself good
And lost for words
I got a suitcase full of happily-ever-afters
The late orange light
A beginner's guide
To when a perfect stranger didn't seem so hard to find
You only want to see
What's impossible
And I'm addicted to remembering like some idiot oracle

[Chorus]
And I see you when
When you disappear down every street
And I hear you when
When you turn and talk in your sleep
I can't call you out
When you're walking around in a silent movie
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me

[Verse 2]
So we sit and stare
Into the glowing heads
Of the geniuses floating past us everywhere
Hide their dreams inside
Of a jewellery box
And every time I try to lift the lid the music stops
So we sleep right through
Every wake-up call
Soon we'll straighten up and fly right into that coma wall

[Chorus]
And I see you when
When you disappear down every street
And I hear you when
When you turn and talk in your sleep
Just call it off
It's lighting up your night with precious worry
I can't call you out
When you're walking around in a silent movie
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
You wouldn't dream
