[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar lead riff]

[Verse 1]
[bass and drums enter]
Moonlit on the pavement, faces drift by
Silver balloons tangled up in the sky
Midnight confessions, no one believes
Lost in the corners of threadbare dreams
[electric guitar arpeggios]
Faded street lamps flickering slow
Carrying secrets I'm longing to know

[Chorus]
[full band, driving rhythm]
Stealing my dreams under starlit scenes
Running through the narrow halls of my sleep
Questions in pockets, old ripped blue jeans
Stolen by shadows who never weep
[vocalizing] La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
[acoustic guitar and bass only]
I wake with a flicker, sweat on my brow
Footsteps behind me but no one around
[drums re-enter]
A carousel memory spinning now
Who keeps on hiding my hope underground?
Rain on the window, voices like wind
Keep coming back to where it begins

[Chorus]
[full band]
Stealing my dreams under starlit scenes
Running through the narrow halls of my sleep
Questions in pockets, old ripped blue jeans
Stolen by shadows who never weep
[vocalizing] La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Bridge]
[glockenspiel accents, half-time feel]
Mirrors are talking, they know all my names
Been thieves with footprints I never can claim
The ruins of mornings I almost recall
Chasing a wish that is slipping and small

[Chorus]
[full band, energetic]
Stealing my dreams under starlit scenes
Running through the narrow halls of my sleep
Questions in pockets, old ripped blue jeans
Stolen by shadows who never weep
[vocalizing] La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Outro]
[electric guitar riff fades, acoustic guitar strumming ends]
