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