Gave birth through the barrel of a gun

Just like my father's son

Felt like it was yesterday

Made my heart stop



Gave birth and expected everyone

to make out and have some fun

I still wish there were dinosaurs

Pterodactyls and…



You wanted to waste it all

I want everything at once

Let's meet in the middle ground

Hold on to your gratitude

Everyone in the world is here

Let's meet in the middle ground



If we can then we will.

Sorry and thanks for a different dream.

If we can then we will.

We'll dance and laugh to a different beat.



Slit wrists and staple every thumb

To my committed tongue

Build a wall and get over it

I will lay you down



Gave birth through the barrel of a gun

Just like my father's son

Felt like it was yesterday

Made my heart stop



Stayed gold and infected everyone

with huge amounts of love

It's like a phenomenon

With a wonderful…



You wanted to waste it all

I want everything at once

Let's meet in the middle ground

Hold on to your gratitude

Everyone in the world is here

Let's meet in the middle ground



If we can then we will.

Sorry and thanks for a different dream.

If we can then we will.

We'll dance and laugh to a different beat.



Lay your eyes on the very next dream

Crave it all with a pitiful streak

Block it out the honour and the grief

Tonight we'll have a reason to breathe



If we can then we will.

Sorry and thanks for a different dream.
