Surprise

Shoot a dream in your arm
 And sleep away
 It's not the stuff that kills you
 That keeps your life at bay
 Every crash pulls you in reach
 Of a watershed of signal flares
 That cover your beach
 These are just placebos to make us feel all right
 Illusions in our pockets make our feathers float us high
 For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise
 A moment somethin' restless caught you by surprise
 Surprise, surprise
 We are so beautiful when we sleep
 Hearts of gold and eyes so
 Deep, deep, deep
 But love won't cure the chaos
 Hope won't hide the loss
 And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause
 And love is wild for reasons
 Hope though short in sight
 Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise
 Surprise, surprise
 Dream, little one
 See the world just begun
 Love is wild for reasons
 Hope though short in sight
 Might be the only thing that brings you back to life
 For a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise
 Surprise
 Surprise
