Protected Songtext
von Tim Finn

I had a dream, just the other night
And it made me wanna change the way I live my life
I had enough just walkin′ through it
And I wanna take the chance and dance with death with you

Hey, hey, mhmm
And we stand on the cliff, mhmm
As if we were protected, yeah, yeah
And I walk on the path, mhmm
My mind and body connected, yeah, yeah
And I walk on the cliff
As if I was protected, mhmm

And I talked it over with my best friend
And he's had the same dream more than once
And this happened again
Could be all of us, can you feel the power?
Can you feel it rushin′ come and goin' in this hour?


Hey, hey, mhmm
And I stand on the cliff, mhmm
As if I was protected, yeah, yeah
And I walk on the path, mhmm
My mind and body connected, yeah, yeah
And I stand on the cliff, mhmm
As if I was protected

As another fall from grace
Everything I do becomes a fake
It's only when I′m awake
Everyone takes a fall
(As if we were protected)

Don′t know how I could take much more of this
I feel the agonizing ignorance of bliss
And if it were true, I'd stand with you
On the cliffs of Alcapulco starin′ into the blue

Yeah, yeah, mhmm
And we stand on the cliff, mhmm
As if we were protected, yeah, yeah
And we walk on the path, mhmm
Our minds and bodies connected, yeah, yeah
We stand on the cliff, mhmm
As if we were protected, yeah
As if we were protected, mhmm
We must be havin', oh (we must be)
The time of our lives


It was only a dream
It was only a dream
We stood on the cliff
As if we were protected
It was somethin′ we couldn't see
But somethin′ we couldn't touch
But somethin' we couldn′t taste
And we all were protected

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Oh, were protected (na-na-na-na-na-na)
And we all were protected (na-na-na-na-na-na)
Oh, were protected (na-na-na-na-na-na)
And we all were protected (na-na-na-na-na-na)

(Something we couldn′t see)
Oh, were protected (something we couldn't touch)
(Something we couldn′t taste)
And we all were protected
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
