When it starts to rain
I feel it creep into the cracked airplane
No passers by, we're all inside it
Staring down the same great heights and
If you panic, I'll have to panic
Make a mad dash for the exit
But if we're calm and brave 'till dawn
We'll wake up in our beds unharmed

I'm dead, you're dead
Dream it 'till we're back in bed
Safe and sound

I know, you know
We're living on our tiptoes now

Face to face with all the people
I could avoid when all was equal
But in the rubble, there are no walls, no separation, crowd controls
Everything theory wove by reason
Gets pulled apart when stretched by feeling
And so we trace the darkest spots
The bare contours of virtue lost

I'm dead, you're dead
Dream it 'till we're back in bed
Safe and sound

I know, you know
We're living on our tiptoes now

And I don't know what fate is
It won't shutter my eyes

We'll wake up in a moment
Cradling our time

I'm dead, you're dead
Dream it 'till we're back in bed
Safe and sound

I know, you know
We're living on our tiptoes now

I'm dead, you're dead
Dream it 'till we're back in bed
Safe and sound

I know, you know
We're living on our tiptoes now
