Lyrics
We're just half a dream away, sitting on our fences, building up defenses Making up rules by which we play We're just half way down the road, staking our positions But stupid superstitions only give fools too heavy a load The magpie screeched and my window is shattered Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered The fireman tried but the hose was frozen The cupboard's bare but the door needs closing We spend half our time away From being where we want to and seeing who it's fun to Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes We spend half a dream away, just looking out of windows Waiting for a signal, waiting for night to return to day The tree was bare but the birds were singing The milk turned sour but my thirst needs quenching The meat was dead and I need me feeding The room was cold but the night was freezing The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming A church on fire is struck by lightning The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers The princess frowned at her lover's mistress She went insane and poisoned the children A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing We're just half a dream away, sitting on our fences, building up defenses Making up rules by which we play We're just half way down the road, staking our positions But stupid superstitions only give fools too heavy a load
