Bound In A Nutshell

(album: Cloudcuckooland - 1990)

Bound in a nutshell
Lost in our weary eyes
We're tumbledown people
Leading our tumbledown lives
Breath of life (breath of life)
Could make our engines roar

We're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life for sleeping giants

Broken, bound and battered
Freezing on picket lines
A colder frost can shatter
And chain us for all our lives
But a breath of life (breath of life)
Can make our engines roar

We're far from power, north of desire
Tied and bound by all these lies
As step by step, open, tired eyes
Give a kiss of life for sleeping giants

They spin our world from cruel to kind
And make our futures a downward slide
The strong get strong, but still want more
But day by day the giants thaw

Tomorrow must be calling
With an open door
There's no one left to start our
Revolution anymore
We need some flames (we need some flames)
To burn down every door

Oh, we're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life for sleeping giants
Far from power, north of desire
Tied and bound by all these lies
Step by step, open, tired eyes

With a kiss of life for sleeping giants
With a kiss of life for sleeping giants
With a kiss of life for sleeping giants
With a kiss of life for sleeping giants
