Protected Lyrics by Tim Finn

Before & After

1993

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 dice with death with you

(hey hey hmmm)
And we stand on the cliff (hmm)
As if we were protected (yea yea)
And I walk on the path (hmm)
My mind and body connected
And I walk on the cliff
As if I was protected (mhm)

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)

And I stand on the cliff (hmm)
As if I was protected (yea yea)
And I walk on the path
My mind and body connected
And I walk on the cliff
As if I was protected
As another fall from grace
Everything I do becomes a fake
Its 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 (yea yea hmm)

And we stand on the cliff (hmm)
As if we were protected (yea yea)
And we walk on the path (hmm)
Our minds and bodies connected (yea yea)
And we stand on the cliff
As if we were protected (yea yea)
As if we were protected (mhm)
We must be havin' 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, somethin' we couldn't touch
Somethin' we couldn't taste, and we all were protected

(and we all were protected...)
