Intro
Verse
We're just half a dream away
Sitting on our fences
Building up defences
Making up the rules by wich we play
We're just half way down the road
Staking our positions
Stupid superstitions
Chorus
The magpie screeched and the window is shattered
Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
The fireman tried but the hose was frozen
The cupboards bare but the door needs closing
Verse 2
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
Looking out of windows
Waiting for a signal
Waiting for night to turn to day
Chorus 2
The tree was bare but the birds were singing
The milk turned sour and my thirst needs quenching
The meat was dead and I need me feeding
The room was cold but the night was freezing
Chorus 2 is played:
Trombone solo
Chorus 3 & 4:
The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining
A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning
A dog runs wild and the breaks are screaming
A church on fire is struck by lightning
The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
She went insane and poisoned the children
A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
Chorus 3 & 4 is played:
Fade-out:
We're just half a dream away x4
Mysterious part
