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 Oh 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 (breath of life) To make our engines roar Oh we're far from power, north of desire Tied and bound by all these lies As step by step, open, tired eyes Give a kiss of life for the 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 (we need some flames) To burn down every door Ah-ah, 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 Far from power, north of desire Tied and bound by all these lies Step by step, open, tired eyes With a kiss of life for sleeping giants With a kiss of life for sleeping giants With a kiss of life for sleeping giants With a kiss of life for sleeping giants Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
