Take this pill, my dearnIt will keep you sharp and clearnThe side effects won't last too longnnIt's stranger than it seemsnIn your most peculiar dreamsnBut it's nothing that won't fade with timenn Tuck the northern star in a candy jarn And save it for a rainy daynn Shadows in the moonlightn Always coming, always goingn While your cup is overflowingnn Shadows in the moonlightn Just a matter of perspectiven It's all relative, subjective,n It's alivennStand up straight and tallnKeep your back against the wallnRemember what they said to younnA stranger in a crowdnA halo on a cloudnIt's lost to you but it never really went awaynn The muffled speech is out of reachn But truth has got a way of breaking throughnn [Chorus]nnTake these words my dear,nAnd as they echo in your earsnIt's closer than you thinknn [Chorus x 2]
