lyrics

What's written on the pages of the books in your dreams?
And what's behind the doors that you cannot see?
And who's the lonely shadow standing there in the corner?
What's he have in store, what's he have in store for ya?

You told me that I couldn't dream of faces that I'd never seen,
I stared dumbfounded saying "what the hell do you mean?"
I can build a city without lifting a finger
I can hear the lyrics even though there's no singer

I woke up in the morning, realized that life was boring
So I went back to sleep, I went back to sleep
I shut my eyes and never came back here

Now I just wanna be a voice that echoes in your head
I wanna be one of the faces that you've never seen
Wanna speak the headlines of the paper on the table
Turn on the lights, then turn 'em off, you'll see it's no fable

Colors were distorted and I couldn't read the words
The more I concentrated, the more their faces blurred
Felt that I was far away in a foreign land but
Then I realized it was my hometown backwards

Packed my bags but it was no vacation
On the train never coming back to the station
Got on a plane and got trapped in foreign lands
But thank, thank God it's just my hometown backwards
