20th Century Dreaming A Shaman's Song Lyrics - David Sylvian

Cold morning 

Start of another day 

Sleeping through the epilogue 

Waking to the sound of rain 

Driven to the crossroads 

Where value's meaningless 

What did you do to my faith 

In justice, hope and happiness 

Social, economical, spiritual 

I'm moving to the house of love 

Take my fire 

Take my food and water 

Forget about those promises 

Of social good and social order 

Lassoed by the cowboys 

Tied down and it shows 

I'm roping in those bad dreams 

And selling off my working clothes 

Social, economical, spiritual 

I'm moving to the house of love 

Gonna take a course of action 

To restore my sight 

'Til the heart of motivation 

Is filled with a golden light 

They're hiding in the treetops 

Tugging at my coat 

Power lines are falling down 

And burning in the undergrowth 

Social, economical, spiritual 

I'm moving to the house of love 

As the river runs, tumbles and turns 

You know you shouldn't stay 

Play the game again 

It could be different this time 

You may win 

Dreaming, dreaming 

Dreaming, dreaming 

Lying down 

Dreaming, dreaming 

Dreaming, dreaming 

Lying down 

I'm moving to the house of love 

Moving to the house of love 

I'm moving to the house of love 

Moving, I'm moving, I'm moving 

I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving 

I'm moving to the house of love 

[Incomprehensible] 

[Incomprehensible] 

Dreaming, dreaming
