Is the dream still alive? Still the image of perfection?

Sweet little delight, a happy disaster, an easy lie?

Well, sometimes hurt befriends rejection

It's kinda rich, I know, when you're the one denied, ooh-ooh

Is this a role or disguise, seeking mercy in creation?

Just another device, or truly a time when we will rise

Oh, one and all, to the occasion

And bridge the gap to see the other side?

Where day and night become vertigo

You still light up my soul like a burning halo

Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show

Looking for something more, chasing echoes, ooh-ooh

Are you really surprised to hear the daydream shop went bankrupt?

Truly beside yourself 'cause the carnival closed down?

When the show suddenly stops

No matter how much you've got, it's still cold out here alone

Where day and night become vertigo

You still light up my soul like a burning halo

Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show

Looking for something more, chasing echoes, ooh-ooh

Here we go shamelessly courting the vices

The virtues, the trifles until we bring down the world

Pleasure highs within meanings lost

Looking for a quick fix, fulfilment fast lane

Pleasure lies about the cost

Of keeping the dream alive, alive, oh

Where day and night become vertigo

You still light up my soul like a burning halo

Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show

Looking for something more, chasing echoes

Oh, looking for something more, chasing echoes, ooh-ooh (let go...)
