Take this pill, my dear It will keep you sharp and clear The side effects won't last too long It's stranger than it seems In your most peculiar dreams But it's nothing that won't fade with time Tuck the northern star in a candy jar And save it for a rainy day Shadows in the moonlight Always coming, always going While your cup is overflowing Shadows in the moonlight Just a matter of perspective It's all relative, subjective,
It's alive Stand up straight and tall Keep your back against the wall Remember what they said to you A stranger in a crowd A halo on a cloud It's lost to you but it never really went away The muffled speech is out of reach But truth has got a way of breaking through (Chorus) Take these words my dear, And as they echo in your ears It's closer than you think (Chorus x 2)
