There's a light that I've seen, it's gold and it's green in the sky.
And that's a thought that I've had in the back of my head, but now it's gone.
oh woe. oh woe.
There's millions of dream floating up through the trees every night.
But night turns to day and the sun melts them away every time.
every time.
So I sit in my bed
in my house
on my street
in my town
and this my world.
And don't you try to be slick or sneak into my door cause I know you're out there
and I can hear you breathing.
I see that you came out of the gold and green in my thoughts
down through the trees
and you're gonna burn me all away
But this is my world
it's faded and grey
it's folded and tattered
but this is my world
languid and lost and devoid of all meaning
but this is mine.
Yeah this is my world
faded and grey
folded and tattered, tattered
this is my world
languid and lost and devoid of all meaning
this is my world
this is my world
this is mine.
