Paperbacks - I Suffer This Like A Dream lyrics

Now night arrives with peculiar viciousness Free from the strange glow it once would descend against You could see the factory lights from any given point in the town On orbits of razor wire. Now darkened, they still keep us down I suffer this like a dream My father sits down on the porch stair next to me He rubs a tattoo that's lost all its clarity But the image depicted has power; it serves to remind How time will conspire to erase every trace of a life I suffer this like a dream Just close your eyes and point anywhere on the map And gather the few things the banks cannot take back Did you in your life ever think you'd be present to see The kind of events that could turn atlases obsolete? I suffer this like a dream No I I can't stop thinking about it I can't stop thinking about it... It just keeps going on I suffer this like a dream
