It seems that I have been held
in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world,
never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me
from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you
who held me under
Felt it in my fist, in my feet,
in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull,
through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead
as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow
for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love with the wrong world
And I could hear the thunder
and see the lightning crack
And all around, the world was waking,
I never could go back
'Cause all the walls of dreaming,
they were torn wide open
And finally, it seemed that the spell was broken
And all my bones began to shake,
my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake,
my eyes flew open
No more dreaming of the dead
as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow
for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love with the wrong world
Snow White is stitching up your circuit-boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White is stitching up your circuit-board
No more dreaming of the dead
as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy,
for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl
so in love with the wrong world
Snow White's stitching up your circuit-boards
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up your circuit-board
Synapse slipping through the hidden door
