"Imagine This" lyrics
Imagine this, a kiss from a stranger
Making love to someone that you never even met
Holding hands with a man on the subway train
Before you even introduce yourself
I had a lover, I left her for another
Or maybe it was she who left me for another girl
I can't quite recall and I thought she'd be appalled
But she told me it was all the same to her
Don't be so sentimental, there's really nothing new
No need to be so modest, no one will notice you
The game is predetermined, this is a ship of fools, oh!
And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around
(No one will save us, no one will save us!)
We sing the kind of melody that will haunt you in your sleep
(No one will save our souls!)
And as the night winds down, the monsters gather 'round
Who will be the first to offer me to the hounds?
"Not me," the voices all agree, so we all await and see
And the beasts will feast like they never done did
Fillin' up their bellies while they're lickin' their lips
And our begging them to stop was the cherry on top, oh!
We knew what was waiting for us comin' on down the line
But we never seemed to mind, 'til we're totally out of time
Imagine this, the fist of a rebel
Held up in defiance and thrust into the sky
Pretty soon it'll spread and take hold of the heads
Of a thousand other simple passerby's
If there's one thing that I can depend on
If there is a single thing that I can say I've learned
What once had a soul, and a purpose, and a goal
Will only end up as a logo on a shirt
Don't be so sentimental, there's really nothing new
No need to be so modest, no one will notice you
The game is predetermined, this is a ship of fools, oh!
And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around
(No one will save us, no one will save us!)
They sing the kind of melody that will haunt you in your sleep
(No one will save our souls!)
And as the night winds down, the monsters gather 'round
Who will be the first to offer me to the hounds?
"Not me," the voices all agree, so we all await and see
And the beasts will feast like they never done did
Fillin' up their bellies while they're lickin' their lips
And our begging them to stop was the cherry on top, oh!
We knew what was waiting for us comin' on down the line
But we never seemed to mind, 'til we're totally out of time
And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around
No one will save us, no one here will save us
We sing the kind of melody that will haunt you in your sleep
No one will save our soul, oh, oh
So we will save our own!
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Making love to someone that you never even met
Holding hands with a man on the subway train
Before you even introduce yourself
I had a lover, I left her for another
Or maybe it was she who left me for another girl
I can't quite recall and I thought she'd be appalled
But she told me it was all the same to her
Don't be so sentimental, there's really nothing new
No need to be so modest, no one will notice you
The game is predetermined, this is a ship of fools, oh!
And as the sun goes down, the beasts will come around
(No one will save us, no one will save us!)
We sing the kind of melody that will haunt you in your sleep
(No one will save our souls!)
And as the night winds down, the monsters gather 'round
Who will be the first to offer me to the hounds?
"Not me," the voices all agree, so we all await and see
And the beasts will feast like they never done did
Fillin' up their bellies while they're lickin' their lips
And our begging them to stop was the cherry on top, oh!

Woah-oh, woah-oh
