Last night I dreamt that I was a bird
Lift with the wind, long black wings would unfold
But when I dared to look down to the ground, to the ground
I felt my bones grow
Heavy and cold, oh oh
Why do I shake so?
I cannot fall
Last night I dreamt that I was a house
Flames leapt from the stove and licked at the walls
I screamed from my windows 'Get out, oh get out, I'll explode!'
I am not safe
Pull me from Kansas
Why do they think I look safe and secure?
Last night you dreamt that I was a bird
The whitest feathers and I soared
I don't want to hurt the faith you have put
But if you could reserve it 'till at least I have stood
Last night I dreamt of black current, river of voices
Sink below; it forgives all my choices
But when I look on to the sea, to the Ocean
I feel my limbs shrink
Into my fins and I think
If I could just swim from
The lights of the shore
Last night I dreamt I was deep inside the mouth of a monster
Green paper filled my breast
And I woke to breathe
Sat up for to free myself
And there you were
Just standing there
I don't know if I can do this
There's too many dangers
You might burn for me
For last night I dreamt you dreamt
That I was a bird
