VERSE 1

Be careful what you dream of it may come up and surprise you
I can't confess my life's a mess, I've come to idolise you
You liken it to walking on hot coals, I'll keep my boots on
Wisen up and fly straight there's a shape on the horizon

VERSE 2

In a hollow horse I steal my way inside your guarded heart
So selfishly the needs I harbour when we are apart
My path strung out behind me contradiction and disaster
I'm in search of charity a union I could master

VERSE 3

Things I used to value I no longer have a use for
I ridicule myself for all the things those symbols stood for
When vanity has played a part in every leaders downfall
Wait to storm the gate, whats left undone to hang around for

CHORUS

We'll be as we are, when all the fools who doubt us fade away
Fortune, deep and wide, intimidated, restless in the wait, the wait

OUTRO

Wait, wait, wait, I'm so tired of waitin'
