[00:-1.00]Villagers - Becoming A Jackal
[00:00.07]
[00:02.97]The most familiar room
[00:07.09]Every implement was leading to you
[00:10.82]And your homely sense of disarray
[00:15.28]Never once the same, always rearranged
[00:22.58]But things would never change
[00:26.14]In the scene between the window frame
[00:30.14]Where the jackals preyed on every soul
[00:34.15]Where they tied you to a pole
[00:38.18]And stripped you of your clothes
[00:40.50]
[00:41.07]I was a dreamer
[00:45.44]Staring at windows
[00:50.02]Out onto the main street
[00:54.86]Cos that's where the dream goes
[00:58.69]
[00:59.19]And each time they found fresh meat to chew
[01:04.81]I would turn away and return to you
[01:08.74]You would offer me your unmade made
[01:12.69]Feed me till I'm fed, read me till I'm read
[01:20.32]But when the morning came
[01:23.85]You would catch me at the window again
[01:27.74]In an eyes wide open sleeping state
[01:31.79]Staring into space, with no look upon my face
[01:38.07]
[01:38.56]I was a dreamer
[01:43.02]Staring at windows
[01:47.58]Out onto the main street
[01:52.38]Cos that's where the dream goes
[01:56.84]
[01:57.47]And when I got older, when I grew bolder
[02:02.25]Out onto the streets I flew
[02:07.55]Released from your shackles
[02:09.45]I danced with the jackals
[02:11.74]And learned a new way to move
[02:15.57]So before you take this song as truth
[02:21.45]You should wonder what I'm taking from you
[02:25.29]How I benefit from you being here
[02:29.77]Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears
[02:35.80]
[02:36.30]I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears)
[02:40.65]Staring at windows (I'm selling you my fears)
[02:45.06]Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears)
[02:50.03]Cos that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you)
[02:54.68]
[02:55.44]I was a dreamer
[02:59.68]Staring at windows
[03:04.44]Out onto the main street
[03:09.31]Cos that's where the dream goes.
