[al:Becoming A Jackal]
[00:03.64]The most familiar room
[00:07.61]Every implement was leading to you
[00:11.22]And your homely sense of disarray
[00:15.52]Never once the same, always rearranged
[00:22.95]But things would never change
[00:26.73]In the scene between the window frame
[00:30.19]Where the jackals preyed on every soul
[00:34.27]Where they tied you to a pole
[00:38.37]And stripped you of your clothes
[00:41.17]I was a dreamer
[00:45.81]Staring at windows
[00:50.40]Out onto the main street
[00:55.06]Cos that's where the dream goes
[00:59.09]And each time they found fresh meat to chew
[01:04.90]I would turn away and return to you
[01:08.69]You would offer me your unmade bed
[01:13.23]Feed me till I'm fed, read me till I'm read
[01:20.15]But when the morning came
[01:24.15]You would catch me at the window again
[01:27.46]In an eyes wide open sleeping state
[01:32.25]Staring into space, with no look upon my face
[01:38.93]I was a dreamer
[01:42.86]Staring at windows
[01:47.87]Out onto the main street
[01:52.47]Cause that's where the dream goes
[01:57.38]And when I got older, when I grew bolder
[02:02.18]Out onto the streets I flew
[02:07.05]Released from your shackles
[02:09.39]I danced with the jackals
[02:12.02]And learned a new way to move
[02:15.34]So before you take this song as truth
[02:21.43]You should wonder what I'm taking from you
[02:25.10]How I benefit from you being here
[02:29.41]Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears
[02:37.55]I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears)
[02:40.32]Staring at windows (I'm selling you my fears)
[02:45.85]Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears)
[02:50.66]Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you)
[02:55.72]I was a dreamer
[03:00.27]Staring at windows
[03:04.83]Out onto the main street
[03:09.63]Cause that's where the dream goes.
