Nuclear Daydream Lyrics - Joseph Arthur

When I was running out of time 

I turned it into a dream 

And you went drifting into my mind 

Things ain't the way that they seem 

I turn you into a dream 

And make it all go away 

You know your hair looks different when you wear it that way 

You've got a painted face and a body made of clay 

You are my super star 

They will fill you with big ideas 

They'll hang your heart in the sky 

I know you want to save the world 

How long have you been that high 

How long have you been that high 

And did you make it all go away 

You know your eyes look different when you look the other way 

You've got a cheating heart bleeding emeralds everyday 

You are a shooting star 

Things ain't the same as when we was young 

They hung us from shooting stars 

Let's tell the world we're doing fine 

I know how lucky we are 

I know how lucky we are 

To make it all go away 

You know this world is topsy-turvy in days like today 

We got a million souls looking for a place to stay 

Each one a shooting star
