Lyrics

It's out there, skulking around Shuffling outside of our door Whispering, it beckons us still Tapping away at our locks Through breaking days and falling nights, it waits When the hunger creaks inside us then It breathes its offer again This is not us, not us, we are dreamers This is not us, not us, we are dreamers You can rob us, you can trick us Peer over our shoulders and steal our ideas Come inside, there's nothing left here Just a table to dance and a song we might hear As the cold creeps and the night falls (we are dreamers) As the cold falls and the hunger creaks (we are dreamers) This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers And we hang on as we hurtle through this space Together we cling as we are spun in the beauty of our dreams So don't wake me, don't shake these bones Please don't rattle those keys So don't wake me, don't make me look All you gotta let me dream This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers When the night it falls (this is not us) And the four winds blow (this is not us) (We are dreamers) with the hunger creaking inside us When the cold, it creeps (this is not us) And there is nothing to burn (this is not us) (We are dreamers) the great tree already felled and sliced You can rob us (this is not us), you can trick us (this is not us) Peer over our shoulders and steal our ideas (we are dreamers) Come inside (this is not us), there is nothing left here (this is not us) Just a table to dance on and a pot we might piss in (we are dreamers) And as the cold creeps (this is not us), and the night falls (this is not us) (We are dreamers) And as the cold falls (this is not us), and the hunger creaks (this is not us) We are dreamers This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers This is not us, this is not us, we are dreamers
