Shoot a dream in your arm

And sleep away

It's not the stuff that kills you

That keeps your life at bay Every crash pulls you in reach

Of a watershed of signal flares

That cover your beach These are just placebos

To make us feel all right

Illusions in our pockets

Make our feathers float us high For a second I thought I saw

Your eyelids rise

A moment something restless

Caught you by surprise

Surprise, surprise We are so beautiful

When we sleep

Hearts of gold and eyes

So deep, deep, deep But love won't cure the chaos

And hope won't hide the loss

And peace is not the heroine

That shouts above the cause And love is wild for reasons

And hope though short in sight

Might be the only thing

That wakes you by surprise

Surprise, surprise And dream, little ones

See the world just begun And love is wild for reasons

And hope though short in sight

Might be the only thing

That wakes you by surprise For a moment I thought I saw

Your eyelids rise

Surprise, surprise
