You got eyes like neon
You got skin like a veil
You got a life time of knowing
When no one sees how we fail

I see you in my bedroom
I see you in my car
I want to drive to the sea wall
And watch the sinking stars

The lying, the theatre
The story is weirder
The dying, the coping
The lying, the hoping
The causes, the taking
The fighting, the breaking
The stable, the horses
The sadness, divorces

Hey!
And we never saw inside
Hey hey
Look how they hang us out to dry
Hey
So let me dry your golden eyes
Hey
Cos all our dreams will never die

I put you in a big house
I didn't know what to do
You poisoned all the flowers
And learned how to be cruel

I turned on the bright lights
Blew up the guillotine
All our ways are new here [?]
We never know what they mean

The lying, the theatre
The story is weirder
The dying, the coping
The lying, the hoping
The causes, the taking
The fighting, the breaking
The stable, the horses
The sadness, divorces

Hey!
And we never saw inside
Hey hey
Look how they hang us out to dry
Hey
So let me dry your golden eyes
Hey
Cos all our dreams will never die

Hey!
And we never saw inside
Hey hey
Look how they hang us out to dry
Hey
So let me dry your golden eyes
Hey
Cos all our dreams will never die
