lyrics

you're just looking at some kind of screen
and you didn't know that the king was a queen
the sun's up at last I go check my tracks
cut the wings open and strap to your back
through the walls of water you're making a torch
I turn on my camera and make my report
you can't move forward you're facing the wind
you can rest for a while then you're moving again
after all you're just flesh and bone
and you've got a mind of your own
your parachute is filled with snow
is there a person that you know
fall in easy and it's hard to climb out
all or nothing is what it's about
they're all scared to sing and dance
they've planned it all out and they don't have a chance
when the storm comes you can dig in the flat
and sleep in a cave when the sky tips its hat
time is running its hands through your hair
and your face and your body have turned into air
your self for real it's so hard to see
when an actor is what every man has to be
you're living on a higher plane
you're awake but the dreams were the same
