We're just half a dream away
  Sitting on our fences
  Building up defences
  Making up rules by which you play
  
  We're just half way down the road
  Staking our postions
  But stupid supersitions
  Only give fools too heavy a load
  
  The magpie screeched and the windows shattered
  Her body's bruised but her soul's not battered
  The fireman tried but the hose was broken
  The cupboards bare but the door needs closing
  
  We spend half our time away
  From being where we want to
  And seeing who it's fun to
  Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes
  
  We spend half a dream away
  Looking out of windows
  Waiting for a signal
  Waiting for night to close the day
  
  The tree was bare but the birds were singing
  The milk turned sour and my thirst needs quenching
  The meat was dead and I need me feeding
  The room was cold but the night was freezing
  
  The rainbow frowned when the sun was laughing
  A baby's snatched on a beatiful morning
  A dog runs wild and the brakes are screaming
  A church on fire is struck by lightining
  The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers
  The princess frowned at her lovers mistress
  She went insane and poisoned the children
  A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
