The most familiar room 
Every implement was leading to you 
And your homely sense of dissaray 
Never once the same 
Always rearranged 
But things would never change 
In the seam between the window frame 
Where the jackals preyed on every soul 
Where they tied you to a pole 
And stripped you of your clothes 
I was a dreamer 
Staring at windows 
Out onto the main street 
Cause that's where the dream goes 
And each time they found fresh meat to chew 
I would turn away and return to you 
You would offer me your unmade bed 
Feed me till I'm fed 
And read me till I'm read 
But when the morning came 
You would catch me at the window again 
In an eyes wide open sleeping state 
Staring into space 
With no look upon my face 
I was a dreamer 
Staring at windows 
Out onto the main street 
Cause that's where the dream goes 
And when I got older 
When I grew older 
Out onto the streets I flew 
Released from your shackles 
I danced with the Jackals 
And learned a new way to move 
So before you take this song as truth 
You should wonder what I'm taking from you 
How I benefit from you being here 
Lending me your ears 
While I'm selling you my fears 
I was a dreamer 
(I'm selling you my fears) 
Staring at windows 
(I'm selling you my fears) 
Out onto the main street 
(I'm selling you my fears) 
Cause that's where the dream goes 
(I'm selling you...) 
I was a dreamer 
Staring at windows 
Out onto the main street 
Cause that's where the dream goes
