A hungry place (B-Side Version)

LYRICS

Driving downtown with the top down turn the radio up to 10
Singing along to your favorite song, you found yourself again
Way up high in the clouds you rest your head
Dreaming of all the fairytale lights and glamorous life ahead
Mmmm...

Fairytales only exist in your dreams
You wake up to find your life is not what it seems
The star you should be is only fantasy
But we all need to believe it's not just a dream

Playing 'round town, new band now
Screaming fans out in the crowd
Singing along to their favorite song, the words you once wrote down
Flying high as you sing your songs aloud
Open your eyes, it's all in your mind
It hasn't happened now
Mmmm...

Fairytales only exist in your dreams
You wake up to find your life is not what it seems
The star you should be is only fantasy
But we all need to believe it's not just a dream...

...Of your own galaxy
There you can defeat gravity
Give you more diamond rings
'Cause you've been waiting patiently

Fairytales only exist in movies
Look around, you're not in a movie scene
The star you should be is only seen on TV
But we all need to believe
That fairytales only start in your dreams
You wake up to find your life can be anything
The star you should be is more than fantasy
'Cause we all need to believe
It's not just a dream

Lyrics:
Swirled up water 

From the source to the mouth
Along your banks and all
You know the glimmering in the sunlight and all that
the playful splashing and pearling in the small

Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river. 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name 

Joy and creatures swim in you
so you also refresh me
when I sit on your shores
under ancient trees
unloaded of all unhappiness
lost in dreams
Oh you life-giving wetness
always on the journey
take all the memories with you
take all the knowledge with you

Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river. 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name 

and  collect even so much more on the way

Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river. 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name, just the river with the name

night and day by night and day
from the source to the mouth
and far, very far beyond
we've put you in your place, 
enclosed you and changed your face
straightened and cherished you
without shame
we thought you to tame
 
Then it turns out, you are no longer just the river with the name 
For days and days
It just did not stop to rain
You would not dream of such a stream
from a small brook to a raging torrent
It just did not stop to rain
And then you took everything 
Then you took
Then you took
You took everything
You took everything

Swirled up water

This song fits always, but especially to the situation at the moment.
