Where Angels Fear to Tread

There is a fragile space between

What is and what is done

All the words tainted with a smile

That made us laugh and cry

We swayed like fireflies

Beneath the red limelight

When we strayed

Under cloudy skies

We renewed the league of dreamers

But through it all

Was no common ground

We were close yet so far away.

In many subtle ways you've killed the coil

With your monumental dreams

With your simple-minded dreams, yeah

There is a lonely place inside your head

Where all voices fail to reach

And even angels fear to tread, oh

Outside open secrets spread

Both of you were meshed together,

Just like savants living in a world

Where you only pretend to care.

In many clever ways you've killed the coil

With your monumental dreams

With your simple-minded dreams, yeah

There is a distant place inside your head

Where all voices fail to reach

And even angels fear to tread, oh

And your biography

Is like a looking-glass

There's someone you don't know…

There's someone no one knows…
