The Flickering Wall Lyrics by Ian Mcculloch
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
In my world, my little world
Life lies upon the floor
The wind blows in and out again
Through windows and through doors
And it's there I'll look and it's there I'll find
What it was I started after
When I mistook what I had in mind
For something made to matter

I heard the footsteps in the street
I saw the lights on the flickering wall
I moved my lips but I couldn't speak
Choked on the wonder of it all
Choked on the wonder
Of it all

In my dreams, recurring dreams
But I was never there
Life so still invisible
Just needing to be where
With any luck I might just find
What it was I started after
When I undertook what I had in mind
When everything mattered

When I saw the gods up in the sky
I saw the lights on the flickering wall
I saw the world through hazel eyes
And choked on the wonder of it all
Choked on the wonder
Of it all...
In my world, my little world   Life lies upon the floor   The wind blows in and out again   Through windows and through doors   And it's there I'll look and it's there I'll find   What it was I started after   When I mistook what I had in mind   For something made to matter      I heard the footsteps in the street   I saw the lights on the flickering wall   I moved my lips but I couldn't speak   Choked on the wonder of it all   Choked on the wonder   Of it all      In my dreams, recurring dreams   But I was never there   Life so still invisible   Just needing to be where   With any luck I might just find   What it was I started after   When I undertook what I had in mind   When everything mattered      When I saw the gods up in the sky   I saw the lights on the flickering wall   I saw the world through hazel eyes   And choked on the wonder of it all   Choked on the wonder   Of it all...
