Idiot Oracle Lyrics
I got myself good
And lost for words
I got a suitcase full of happily ever afters
The late orange light
A beginners guide
To when a perfect stranger didn't seem so hard to find
You only want to see
What's impossible
And I'm addicted to remembering like some idiot oracle
And I see you when
When you disappear down every street
And I hear you when
When you turn and talk in your sleep
I can't call you out
When you're walking around in a silent movie
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
So we sit and stare
Into the glowing heads
Of the geniuses floating past us everywhere
Hide their dreams inside
Of a jewellery box
And every time I try to lift the lid the music stops
So we sleep right through
Every wake up call
Soon we'll straighten up and fly right into that coma wall
And I see you when
When you disappear down every street
And I hear you when
When you turn and talk in your sleep
Just call it off
It's lighting up your night with precious worry
I can't call you out
When you're walking around in a silent movie
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
You wouldn't dream
And lost for words
I got a suitcase full of happily ever afters
The late orange light
A beginners guide
To when a perfect stranger didn't seem so hard to find
You only want to see
What's impossible
And I'm addicted to remembering like some idiot oracle
When you disappear down every street
And I hear you when
When you turn and talk in your sleep
I can't call you out
When you're walking around in a silent movie
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
Into the glowing heads
Of the geniuses floating past us everywhere
Hide their dreams inside
Of a jewellery box
And every time I try to lift the lid the music stops
So we sleep right through
Every wake up call
Soon we'll straighten up and fly right into that coma wall
When you disappear down every street
And I hear you when
When you turn and talk in your sleep
Just call it off
It's lighting up your night with precious worry
I can't call you out
When you're walking around in a silent movie
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
You wouldn't dream of meaning anything to me
You wouldn't dream

"A song mostly about dreams and dreaming and you know, your mind is just kind of running away with itself and doing all this stuff which you have no involvement with and you wake up in the morning and go what the hell was all of that, who was that, who was curating that, that sick mess going through my brain all night. It's pretty amazing, dreams are unreal. I wake up every day and i remember 4 or 5 different dreams that i have and im always just stunned. What was that and who arranged that. Its fun." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EBV8nBSWeUI
When the drum riff kicks in in after Chorus 1, and right before Verse 2 - it feels like I'm in 80's heaven!
