I was kissed by the Chicago skyline But when I opened my eyes I found I was standing alone in the city, just shy of confident Naked and wasted in new skin of a limited body But I soon found that even the streetlight hands were missing their fingers So naturally I fit right in to the silent agreement That told me that that's just how life is And all these wicked dreams They're close enough to think of as reality But that's alright with me I've never known the difference with much clarity anyway I was scared that you'd see right through me I swallowed a cityscape whole Now all of the things that leave my mouth are just vulgar projections Of the buildings that made me feel so small And I don't want you to see that But in my anger I wrote it on all the walls And all these wicked dreams They're close enough to think of as reality But that's alright with me I've never known the difference with much clarity anyway 'Til this pen explodes and brings me home I'll write this burst heart out But how will waking life compete? I'll take the first flight out And all these wicked dreams They're close enough to think of as reality But that's alright with me I've never known the difference with much clarity anyway
