And a cool, cool rain comes down
On a world burned by the sun
And the moon arises like a child
And the moment is undone
And the stars never say what they see
As the moon flirts with shadows it makes
Through the fallen trees
Some would wait for the morning light
But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe
In the arms of night
Let the darkness roll in
Let it wipe the light away
In the distance
Always calling
Morpheus
He beckons play
Still the morning is pre-ordained
But I believe light is the source of all of our pain
It reveals our smallest sins
But dark covers all and will always take you
Armed and gunning
I've been running
Always just before the day
In the distance
Day is dawning
But I'm already miles away
In the night there's wonder
Always there for you to see
In the light of morning
Visions fade
And dreams can flee
With the darkness the night forgives
Covers our scars and lets
The lost souls live
And the morning's a distant fear
But if we move fast they'll never find us
Armed and gunning
I've been running
Through a world that's in decay
Let them thunder stare and wonder
Cause I'm already miles away
And the rain comes down

I really want to know
What you had in store
I couldn't really tell
Perhaps it's just as well
I came here with a dream
And I just had to see
If my dream would soar
I knocked on every door
His whole life was written
Written there inside
The new weekly bible
His modern T.V. Guide
Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah
A man only sees want he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is that he wants to be
Living in a world where he's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night
And follow me
Won't you follow me (repeat)
Don't need no super heros
Don't need no movie stars
Don't need no politicians
In big black shiny cars
Don't need no preacher
Whose church is my T.V.
A man only sees what he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is what he wants to be
Living in a world where he's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night child
And follow me
Won't you follow me (repeat)
Once was a broken hero
The kind that we all know
The kind that hides inside us
For we never show
The kind we say that could never be me
His whole life was written
Written there inside
The new weekly bible
His modern T.V. Guide
Stare back at the screen, yeah yeah
A man only sees want he wants to see
