Is the dream still alive? Still the image of perfection?
Sweet little delight, a happy disaster, an easy lie?
Well, sometimes hurt befriends rejection
It's kinda rich, I know, when you're the one denied, ooh-ooh
Is this a role or disguise, seeking mercy in creation?
Just another device, or truly a time when we will rise
Oh, one and all, to the occasion
And bridge the gap to see the other side?
Where day and night become vertigo
You still light up my soul like a burning halo
Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show
Looking for something more, chasing echoes, ooh-ooh
Are you really surprised to hear the daydream shop went bankrupt?
Truly beside yourself 'cause the carnival closed down?
When the show suddenly stops
No matter how much you've got, it's still cold out here alone
Where day and night become vertigo
You still light up my soul like a burning halo
Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show
Looking for something more, chasing echoes, ooh-ooh
Here we go shamelessly courting the vices
The virtues, the trifles until we bring down the world
Pleasure highs within meanings lost
Looking for a quick fix, fulfilment fast lane
Pleasure lies about the cost
Of keeping the dream alive, alive, oh
Where day and night become vertigo
You still light up my soul like a burning halo
Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show
Looking for something more, chasing echoes
Oh, looking for something more, chasing echoes, ooh-ooh (let go...)
