20th Century Dreaming Lyrics by David Sylvian

20th Century Dreaming Lyrics

    (a shaman's song)



    Cold morning
    Start of another day
    Sleeping through the epilogue
    Waking to the sound of rain
    Driven to the crossroads
    Where value's meaningless
    What did you do to my faith
    In justice, hope and happiness


    Social, economical, spiritual
    I'm moving to the house of love


    Take my fire
    Take my food and water
    Forget about those promises
    Of social good and social order
    Lassoed by the cowboys
    Tied down and it shows
    Well i'm roping in those bad dreams
    And selling off my work clothes


    Social, economical, spiritual
    I'm moving to the house of love


    Gonna take a course of action
    To restore my sight
    'til the heart of motivation
    Is filled with a golden light
    They're hiding in the treetops
    Tugging at my coat
    But the power lines are falling down
    And burning in the undergrowth


    Social, economical, spiritual
    I'm moving to the house of love


    As the river runs
    Tumbles and turns
    You know you shouldn't stay
    Or play the game again
    But it could be different this time
    You may win


    Dreaming, dreaming
    Dreaming, dreaming lying down


    Dreaming,dreaming
    Dreaming, dreaming lying down


    I'm moving to the house of love


    Here comes the dreaming
