When the Sun goes down
That they've turned around
Comes a hankering
Keeps them shaking in their knees

Big umbrella eyes
Watching for the storm
They can't disguise
What they're longing for
Hunting for the bone
Make-believing home

In the alleyway
There's an open door
Where the sleepers stay
Keeping everyone at bay
They've crystallized, losing track of time
They're aching for, a way to close the door
Hunting for the bone, make-believing home
They'll learn to live alone

Special guarantee, safe for the moment
So gracefully, hysterically free
Now they're running fast, with the goods in hand
Grinning carefully, think they understand

Sifting through the mud, running through the rain
They won't die out, too hungry and insane
Hunting for the bone, make-believing home
They'll learn to live alone

Special guarantee, safe for the moment
So gracefully, hysterically free
Safe for the moment so gracefully
And I can barely breathe, drowning a space
That will never fill, the flood is in my dreams

And I can barely breathe, safe for the moment
So gracefully, hysterically free
