lyrics

We are in a courtyard, flashing color and dancing eyes
Pretending to smoke cigarettes beneath the shuttered sky

Prism of darkness (we wonder: is this all there is?)
Cages of light (never, no, never, no, never!)

Safe in your tin can armor, but inside you're virgin white
And it's the sound of thunder that keeps you up all night

Prism of darkness (we wonder: is this all there is?)
Cages of light (never, no, never, no, never!)

Distant scents and photographs
We are who we think we are
Trees low above our heads
Our compass the Morning Star

You said you came to see me, and that nothing is what it seems
I smile, and nod, and wonder as I slip into a dream on the

Prism of darkness (we wonder: is this all there is?)
Cages of light (never, no, never, no, never!)
