once I had a vision
I was standing in a city
there was no one on the sidewalks
but there was music from the houses
And the rooftops of the buildings
shone grey against blue backdrops
and the streets warm surprises
were as fine as forest noises
like I had the best of both worlds (x4)
I'm drawn to companions
But pulled to empty spaces
but the empty rooms are cold and
theres too much air for breathing
but I don't want to open doors to
friends that only bleed me
I don't want to touch a face if
I can't break the surface
I'm looking for the best of both worlds (4x)
I was down at the sea shore
with Daniel and my children
I was listening to my daughter
riding on his shoulders
and I wanted to be her
and I wanted to be him
the need to be so close that
its just like imploding
looking for the best of both worlds (4x)
Daniel started leaving
There was nothing I could do to save him
he was walking toward the deep end
just like he had religion
and I wondered where he felt that
anguish like a beating
before him lay a place both
empty and uncertain
like we lost the best of both worlds (4x)
