Tell me, what did you expect to see when you came in here? Exotic drinks, fairy cloaks, magic tricks to steal? Did you come to meet a dreamer, yes, or something more? Did you want strings attached? Well I cut them all. What there is in your mind that makes you feel so sure? Deny it; I will whisper things you need to know. Tell me, what did you expect to see When you went into the wilderness? Flashing lights, silver tambourines the full while You're shouting in a crowd. Did you expect to see a prophet wearing gold? You must look in king's palace as photos kind of jokes Just gotta see differently just like the painters do Cause I will direct all my words to you. What there is in your mind that makes you feel so sure? Deny it; I will whisper things you need to know. Tell me, what did you expect to see When you went into the wilderness? Flashing lights, silver tambourines the full while You're shouting in a crowd.
