Parallel cuts

Dear oh dear
we're so alike
always in honest pursuit of the fairytale
don't give up no matter how real things might get

And I could have sworn I heard strange tongues
and flickering flames
wild men playing at dangerous games
The more I listen
The less I know

Predestined evenings
like in the movies
with parallel cuts to parallel worlds
I just need something
anything will do
to pursue
and I'm off

Read my mind now
cause this can't be said
even with vague metaphors
and no, I have not just been chopping onions

Hold, hold your head up high
stand up straight don't sigh
this is your life
your life
your life
your life

Predestined evenings
like in the movies
with parallel cuts to parallel worlds
I just need something
anything will do
to pursue
and I'm off
