Verse 1
Disrespected and discarded
You're feeling like a castaway
Living in a dissolving dream
I'm the rubbish at your feet
The trash you wish would go away
Living in a dissolving dream
Chorus 1
The pile is always getting higher
Building up on the street
As we walk on a tightrope wire
Between slumming hope and healthy greed
Deceptive as the past
Deceptive as reality
Is it what you're dreaming of?
This is your dissolving dream
Watch it wash away
Can we gain a voice in culture
One that laughs and one that bleeds?
Living in a dissolving dream
Can we ever really be sure
What you say is what you mean?
Living in a dissolving dream
Chorus 2
Do we bite the hand that feeds us
Rather than beg for sympathy?
'Cause the world is a minefield
Can I trust you not to destroy me?
