The Dizzy Wounded

[Verse 1]
Down every alleyway
They hide in the shadows, tricky ghouls
Cross your heart and pray
Sorry lovers and unhappy fools
I saw a thousand robins
It was almost absurd
Reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock's "Birds"
Let's not make sinister the beauty we find
When the morning sun floods
The dark of our minds

[Chorus]
Before we begin our descent into madness
Why don't we, the dizzy wounded, dance?
Before we surrender euphoria to sadness
I say we, the dizzy wounded, dance

[Verse 2]
I felt your pain today
A rodeo clown gored by a bull
Forgive me if I play devil's advocate
Tonight is wonderful
More than a million crickets
Chirping in the trees
Music of the underworld, a symphony
Open wide the windows
Step out in the yard
Every heart is broken
Every soul is scarred

[Chorus]
Before we begin our descent into madness
Why don't we, the dizzy wounded, dance?
Before we surrender euphoria to sadness
I say we, the dizzy wounded, dance
