Empire Of The Sun - Walking on a Dream Album Lyrics

Standing on the shore
Waiting for the ship in call
There's something in the way I move that keeps them on their own

The stars explodes a storm
A billion seasons born
A shock to the waves I know, breaking far from shore

Don't want to talk
All I hear is noise
Don't want to talk

The future's in my hands
I hold it in my palms
Engrave it the leylines running right down her arms

Speak in silent tongues
Lies reflect the times
The ghosts and the shadows fill the living scene

Don't want to talk
All I hear is noise
Don't want to talk

Walking on a dream
How can I explain?
Talking to myself
Will I see again?

We are always running
For the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill
Searching for the thrill of it

On and on and on
We are calling out and out again
Never looking down
I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now?
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Thought I'd never see
The love you found in me
Now it's changing all the time
Living in a rhythm
Where the minute's working overtime

We are always running
For the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill
Searching for the thrill of it

On and on and on
We are calling out and out again
Never looking down
I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Is it real now?
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Is it real now?
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Catch me, I'm falling down
Catch me, I'm falling down

Don't stop, just keep going on
I'm your shoulder, lean upon
So come on, deliver from inside
All we got is tonight
That is right 'til first light

Is it real now?
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

Is it real now?
When two people become one

Come on now can we talk about it like we used to talk about
Hotel in the hills with a carousel
Farmhouse in the front a tractor in the lounge

Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know

Listen now can we talk in love and walk the town
Be easy now, go hiking through the hills in a summer gown
Raise the kids, peace within and make our sound

Hear me now, I'm down on knees and praying
though my faith is weak
without you so please baby please give us a chance
make amends and I will stand until the end
a million times a trillion more

Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know

Smile baby don't cry
I will only fly with you by my side
Baby I'm cornered now
Baby don't push me out
Lately I walk in doubt
Maybe it's crashing down
Baby can you save it now

Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know
Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know

Baby I'm cornered now
Baby don't push me out
Lately I walk in doubt
Maybe it's crashing down

Baby I'm cornered now
Baby don't push me out
Lately I walk in doubt
Maybe it's crashing down

We can remember swimming in December,
Heading for the city lights in 1975
We share in each other
Nearer than farther
The scent of lemon, drips from your eyes
We are the people who rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
We lived an adventure
Love in the Summer
Followed the sun till night
Reminiscing other times of life
For each every other
The feeling was stronger
The shock hit eleven
Got lost in your eyes
I cant do well when I think youre gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
I cant do well when I think youre gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
Can you remember and humanize,
It was still where wed energized,
Lie in the sand and visualize like its 75 again
We are the people that rule the world
A force running in every boy and girl
All rejoicing in the world
Take me now
We can try
I cant do well when I think youre gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
I cant do well when I think youre gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now

I know everything about you
Know everything about me
Know everything about us x2

I cant do well when I think youre gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now
I cant do well when I think youre gonna leave me, but I know I try
Are you gonna leave me now
Should you be believing now x2

When about midnight roosters at the hip tight
Played the blues with Cool Kite
Shot a round with Heather Smite
Mixed my drinks with Mia Town
Smoked hip hop with Roger Down
Dulled the lights from 5th Ave
Played the colours Jonny Par

Down at Delta Bay
Down at Delta Bay
A chord a light a paralight abyss
New tricks in moonlight
Sad sumo, a silly sea

Counting truth death in a Hollywood scene
Rimmed shot, joked lot heard the point of towns

Then I got a phone call
I saw you on the new shore
Tapping teeth in lifestyle
Moving guards like Tim Know
When I got a phone call
I saw you on new show
Tapping teeth in lifestyle
Tapping teeth in lifestyle

A chord a light a paralight abyss
New tricks in moonlight
Sad sumo, a silly sea

Counting truth death in a Hollywood scene
Rimmed shot, joked lot heard the point of towns cup
Leant back
Flipped up
Met the mayor for drinks up
Had a smoke, angry yoke who spoke in tongues and dreamed a lot

Never been to nowhere town always knew the mind in dock

[Instrumental]

I asked the world a question
When did you begin?
I asked him of his problems
When did you go wrong?
My singing cells have power
An army by my side

You so want my mind
You trick my time
And I run around and you're on your own
Without with without you say at home at home
How hard do you make it go?

No mothers and fathers to make us anymore
No arms or eyes to shape us
Like life itself
Then a thousand red coats scorn me

You so want my mind
You trick my time
And I run around and you're on your own
Without with without you say at home at home
How hard do you make it go?

You so want my mind
You trick my time
And I run around and you're on your own
Without with without you say at home at home
How hard do you make it go?

It's just a memory
Billions and billions of lights and hearts
Befalling to embers through to coal
Save from dust to dust
To wind to desert to death

I asked the world a question
When did you begin?
I asked him of his problems
When did you go wrong?
Those lead you who wake from the dreams which lies and shapes the farm in their eyes

Got you everything I wanted when I wasn't sitting on it

Swordfish hotkiss night
Breathing to the beat
Push it in the wind
Calling all the life forms

Got you everything I wanted when I wasn't sitting on it

Kings Cross hot shot
Jesus Christ on web blog
Cowboy at a cop shop
Tiger in a drug store

Days go by days
All we do is roll on
Days show my ways
When I when I when I when I

Hotdog belt donut melt
Magpie knelt by itself
Monster goons magnet moves
Diamonds in a harlot douche

Days go by days
All we do is roll on
Days show my ways
When I when I when I when I
Dream

Mansion in my mouth
Money's gone south
Sherbet in my shout
Tongue lashed out

Dragon lips I say goodbye
But baby don't you cry
Be too cool to ever be
With a tiger by your side

Money talks a single side
Paid my dues to move the tide
Caught the moonlight in my shoe
With a tiger by my side

Trekking through an open mind
I got a window in my spine
Felt the miracle in my stride over
Making music in my mind
I'm blending colours for the blind
Melt the pinnacle your times not over

Rabbit trips can take their time
But fun is fun and that's alright
Diving deep as whales sleep
Counting heroes on my feet

Widow in a falling star
Healing scars with my guitar
Sirens speak to apple tree
And the tiger plays a part

Seen about a million roads
I've done the bong to Tokyo
I've been a clone and had a little luck
Swam across the golden sea a certain price of levity
It brings us up and only makes us sleep
Television changing channels telling people wearing flannels
Culture shocking walkways to the shore
Even though I never know and even though I never know
and even though I never want to know

Trekking through an open mind
I got a window in my spine
Felt the miracle in my stride over
Making music in my mind
I'm blending colours for the blind
Melt the pinnacle your times not over

Seen about a million roads
I've done the bong to Tokyo
I've been a clone and had a little luck
Swam across the golden sea a certain price of levity
It brings us up and only makes us sleep
Television changing channels telling people wearing flannels
Culture shocking walkways to the shore
Even though I never know and even though I never know
and even though I never want to know

No
No shapes at all
Nothing real or artificial
No energy or heat
No troughs there are no peaks
No hangover from last night
No shame in first light
No time there'll be no change
No colours to rearrange

And I
I get that feeling
When we're apart, oh
I get the teaching that I can't be without you
Without you babe
Without you

No future there is no past
No slow there is no fast
No grace with which to admire
No face there is no desire
No symmetry or peace
No sirens all police
No cameras and no phones
No photographs and no tones

And I
I get that feeling
When we're apart, oh
I get the teaching that I can't be without you
Without you babe
Without you

Come on
Hey now
Come on
Hey now
Come on
Take my heart in your hands
Come on
Hey now
Come on
Hey now
Come on
Take my heart in your hands

And I
I get that feeling
When we're apart, oh
I get the teaching that I can't be without you
Without you babe
Without you
