Blinding (Live BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall / 2024)

[Verse 1]

It seems that I have been held in some dreaming state

A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake

No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber

Until I realise that it was you who held me under

[Pre-Chorus]

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids

Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

[Chorus]

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone

No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden

No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

[Verse 2]

And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack

And all around, the world was waking, I never could go back

'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open

And finally, it seemed that the spell was broken

[Pre-Chorus]

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open

[Chorus]

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone

No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden

No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

[Bridge]

Snow White is stitching up your circuit-boards

Synapse slipping through the hidden door

Snow White is stitching up your circuit-board

[Chorus]

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone

No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden

No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world

[Post-Chorus]

Snow White's stitching up your circuit-boards

Synapse slipping through the hidden door

Snow White's stitching up your circuit-board

Synapse slipping through the hidden door
