[Verse 1] Silent streets under silver light Cold machines breathe in time Every face wants the same tonight Running circles in the same old line [Pre-Chorus] No heat, no tears, no pain Just a hunger dressed in skin Say it once, say it plain Let me know where I fit in [Chorus] Sweet static dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree I move slow through the quiet bliss Everybody’s watching me Sweet static dreams, sharp and bare No escape, no control Everybody wants to be there Everybody wants it all [Verse 2] Plastic smiles in a mirrored room Words fall flat, clean and dry Every wish hums the same cold tune Nothing real ever asks you why [Pre-Chorus] Hands reach out, never touch Eyes stay calm, hearts stay still Want too little, want too much Pay the price, bend the will [Chorus] Sweet static dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree I move slow through the quiet bliss Everybody’s watching me Sweet static dreams, sharp and bare No escape, no control Everybody wants to be there Everybody wants it all [Bridge] Hold it steady, don’t react Power lives in what you lack Take it clean, don’t look back This is truth in purest black [Chorus] Sweet static dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree I move slow through the quiet bliss Everybody’s watching me Sweet static dreams, cold and thin No desire left to hide Everybody wants to win Standing dead-eyed side by side [Outro] Sweet static dreams Sweet static dreams
