lyrics

Her eyes roll up and to the otherside 
Where the carnival's come to make her soul a bride 
Out there when she closed the curtains, down lids 
She started to drift from the world to you

Cause the world, no it don’t make sense 
How you gotta be to jump the fence 
How you gotta play the system so it can play you
(oh, you’re a beauty – a turn from the dull it’s all become)
 
With her mind made up by her golden eye
 Ringlets of rays from the golden skies 
Out with the freaks and all the goblins – all crowned
 We’ve finally found what we’re meant to do

Nobody to please like a begging dog
 The people laugh and point, you just carry on
 There’s nothing left to prove, no alibis 
She’s running fast asleep to the otherside

Don’t make me wait too long
 Don’t make me wait too long

Her eyes roll up and to the otherside
 Where the morning had come to claim her waking life
 She bolts up, there she had the vision 
It’s all there, she finally found all her dreams were true

Oh how it all made sense 
The sun is now the moon high above the fence
 You don’t gotta play no system and it won’t play you
