Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the tragedy
It's not the way it's supposed to be, I know
Now I'm seein' things
Saw something movin' under your skin
You can talk to animals
Do little or do nothing at all
I'm a melted snowman
Try to crack the codes, they all came back wrong
It just took too long
[Verse 2]
You find it comical
Not in a way that makes you laugh
I'm not a killer
You could bring out the killer in me
Take a snapshot
What's goin' on in this world will only get you down
Find the meaning
[Verse 3]
Is this a dream?
It's like a disease
That we all catch in our sleep
Invisible dream
I need electronic eyeballs
Just to see past the truth
And gimme some love
Your heart stops beatin' to the sound of your dreams
I need some love and a hot air balloon
So we can make our escape
[Verse 4]
I'm runnin' out of caviar
Had to sell the supercar, oh, no
Thanks, Mr. Andrews
For givin' me the big red book of my life
In the search of freedom
There's always somebody tryna pin you to the wall
Today's a good day
I found a letter from Bono not seen in years
So just dry those tears
[Verse 5]
Is this a dream?
It's like a disease
That we all catch in our sleep
Am I in your dream?
We gotta stop waitin' for the apples to fall
And give me some love
I need electronic eyeballs
Just to see past the truth
And give me some love
Your heart stops beatin' to the sound of your dreams
[Verse 6]
Gather up all your teardrops
Gather up all your teardrops
Gather up all your teardrops
Pour them on me
[Verse 7]
Is this a dream? (A dream, a dream)
It's like a chronic disease
That we all catch in our sleep
And if God is real
We gotta just stop blamin' Him when things go wrong
And show me some love
When the whole things pops, you'll be the sole survivor
I need your blood and a hot air balloon
To make my arrival
