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
