Surprise

Shoot a dream in your arm
And sleep away
It's not the stuff that kills you
That keeps your life at bayEvery crash pulls you in reach
Of a watershed of signal flares
That cover your beachThese are just placebos
To make us feel all right
Illusions in our pockets
Make our feathers float us highFor a second I thought I saw
Your eyelids rise
A moment something restless
Caught you by surprise
Surprise, surpriseWe are so beautiful
When we sleep
Hearts of gold and eyes
So deep, deep, deepBut love won't cure the chaos
And hope won't hide the loss
And peace is not the heroine
That shouts above the causeAnd love is wild for reasons
And hope though short in sight
Might be the only thing
That wakes you by surprise
Surprise, surpriseAnd dream, little ones
See the world just begunAnd love is wild for reasons
And hope though short in sight
Might be the only thing
That wakes you by surpriseFor a moment I thought I saw
Your eyelids rise
Surprise, surprise
