Suspension of Disbelief
Driving my car
I'm fighting my war
I look for the door of innocence
My body is tired
My mind is unwired
I'm looking for more than emptiness
No answers in view
All people want to do
Is fill up their own trophy case
But the awards and the praise
Will soon drift away
Your shelves won't have a thing to showcase
The kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
Flyin' on a plane
Trying to rise above the game
That everyone plays to be adored
My soul can't take this pain
The world is insane
Spending more than they can afford
The kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
Can someone turn the lights on
I'm tired of keeping the curtains drawn
I want to carry on and cast my cares away
Image maintenance and the grind
Won't help me to unwind
I'm trying to find that place of rest again
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
I'm fighting my war
I look for the door of innocence
My body is tired
My mind is unwired
I'm looking for more than emptiness
No answers in view
All people want to do
Is fill up their own trophy case
But the awards and the praise
Will soon drift away
Your shelves won't have a thing to showcase
The kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
Flyin' on a plane
Trying to rise above the game
That everyone plays to be adored
My soul can't take this pain
The world is insane
Spending more than they can afford
The kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
Can someone turn the lights on
I'm tired of keeping the curtains drawn
I want to carry on and cast my cares away
Image maintenance and the grind
Won't help me to unwind
I'm trying to find that place of rest again
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
And the kids are in the street
Dancing on their feet
Laughing cheek to cheek without disbelief
Smiles laughs and friends
Not having to pretend
Not needing to defend their philosophy
