about

I dunno, I only saw inception once but in this song there's a thief who travels through dreams to steal important information from rich and powerful people and there's a detective hired to catch that thief.
They meet by chance and the detective falls in love.

lyrics

No one knows
Who you are
And who could describe you
Disguising yourself as the stars
I've been charged to find you
'cause you stole from the rich
And you pissed off the powers that be
You're a drop
In the mist
Just like me

Chorus
I wanna lay in the clouds
Bathe in the light of the sun
I wanna float like a squid
In the bowels of the ocean
You are only ever in my slumber
Anytime that I see ya
Beautiful night
Beautiful dream
Beautiful dreamer

Verse 2

When we met
You didn't know
The gist of my mission
You roped me right into your show
How could I not listen
We're two oneironauts
You almost got caught
I could be giving you up
But I'm not

Chorus

I wanna roll
In the clay
And sink in the weight of your arms
I wanna sail through your eyes
While reading the maps of your palms
You always say you'll be right back
And I sometimes believe ya
Beautiful moon
Beautiful beams
Beautiful dreamer

Bridge

I don't know when
We'll meet again
I don't know what numbers to call
I just know I should get to you
before the rest of the law
But dreams can be tricky
Detective works tough
I need to see you when I wake up

Chorus

I wanna be
On your side
And ride away into the dawn
I wanna float through the night
And fly with the birds in your songs
You are only ever in my slumber
anytime that I see ya
Beautiful heist
Thief
Schemer

Glockenspiel solo

Take me away
From the numb
Put the mystery back in my lungs
Pilfer my heart
From the safe
Where it sat since we stopped being young
Let's get new clothed and new names
And go away where we might not need either
Beautiful night
Beautiful dream
Beautiful dreamer

Beautiful night
Beautiful dream
Beautiful dreamer
