Lucid Dreams Lyrics by Franz Ferdinand
Sweep slides on my stereo
Short wave ride my rodeo
Beat came from Addis Abylon
I’m flying to Istanbul
Oh so why don’t you meet me there?
There is no nation of you
There is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams — I’m living in lucid dreams
I’m living on shortwave streams tonight
I’ll dial Alexandria
If you dial into Ithaca
Salt, Fisher, German Bight
I skate on the world tonight
Oh so why don’t you come along?
There is no nation of you
There is no nation of me
Our only nation lives in lucid dreams
Lucid dreams — I’m living in lucid dreams
I’m living on shortwave streams tonight
I’m going to give my aimless love
My angry heart and my desire
I woke with Wings from lucid dreams
I knew the reason I felt hollow
Was that I may never know
If there is some Great Truth or not
No, there is just Great Mystery
