Lyrics

BIG DREAMS LITTLE EARTHLINGS

All the ice had melted when they pulled you from the water
And lit a fire around your trembling heart and called you daughter
They gave you teeth as sharp as nails and all the pretty flowers
And a bed of grass under that tree where we would kiss for hours
Oh Ooo

Past the orchard out of brambles we skinned our knees on city streets
I carved your name on fallen statues you painted flags on dirty sheets
Someone called it heaven so we climbed atop the masses
Took our giant steps across the sky and smashed our crystal glasses

Oh
Big dreams little earthlings
We are flying with fake wings
But it feels just like the real thing

First one to the bleeding edge is the smartest of the foxes
We crowned ourselves in neon and hid our bombs in metal boxes
Are you scared of dying? I said no one likes a killjoy
So we burned the land to blisters and flew away with all the cowboys

Oh
Big dreams little earthlings
We are flying with fake wings
But it feels just like the real thing
Oh Big dreams, little earthlings
We are falling with fake wings
Gonna hurt just like the real thing

All the ice had melted when we planted trees and clover
And lit a fire round our hopeful hearts and started over

Oh
Big dreams, little earthlings
Flying with fake wings
But it feels just like the real thing
Oh
Big dreams, little earthlings
Falling with fake wings
It’s gonna hurt just like the real thing
