Bound in a nutshell lost in our weary eyes We're tumbledown people leading our tumbledown lives Breath of life, breath of life Could make our engines roar We're far from power, north of desire High and dry, hoping you'll send us From your mouth instead of lies A kiss of life for sleeping giants Broken, bound and battered, freezing on picket lines A colder frost can shatter and chain us for all our lives But a breath of life Can make our engines roar We're far from power, north of desire Tired and bound by all these lies As step by step, open tired eyes A kiss of life for sleeping giants They spin our world from cruel to kind And make our futures a downward slide The strong get strong but still want more But day by day the giants thaw Tomorrow must be calling with an open door There's no one left to start our revolution anymore We need some flames To burn down every door We're far from power, north of desire High and dry, hoping you'll send us From your mouth instead of lies A kiss of life for sleeping giants We're far from power, north of desire Tired and bound by all these lies As step by step, open tired eyes A kiss of life for sleeping giants A kiss of life for sleeping giants A kiss of life for sleeping giants A kiss of life for sleeping giants
