HANDS LIKE HOUSES lyrics : "Lion Skin"

I wonder, can you daydream at night?
Lying awake, I've had too much time
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows

Dance for the crowd tonight
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide,
While stars watch over you


Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

The way I've walked before,
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls,

I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear,
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear

Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine,
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness


There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes
Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens
I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight

Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads,
While stars watch over you


Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
The way I've walked before,

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
Push the sheep out of your mind,

Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight

I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses,

But I'm at home, a ghost that has left behind his sheets,
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been


I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you
And I'll walk while stars watch over you


Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
The way I've walked before,

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
The way I've walked before,

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
Push the sheep out of your mind,

Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
