Bright Eyes – Katie Come True lyrics
Girl behind the screen, the movie I seem to see is hardly there.
The glass contacts in my eyes make it hard to focus.
When you step out on the floor, your dress is swaying in the piano.
The fabric of your invisible body is being sewn with music.
Katie, will you come true for me? Come by sometime when I'm awake?
Everyone else just lies to me; yeah they say you're a dream.
Will you step into the light from the screen so that I can make out your shape?
You don't need to tell me anything, because I know what you mean.
Girl, up in the window. Let the air and the music inside your room.
Turn off the TV, stretch your body as far as it goes.
The plants you nurtured are beaming and growing in gratitude.
The ones forgotten have withered and they're black as coal.
Katie, will you come true for me? Come by sometime when I'm awake?
Everyone else just lies to me; yeah they say you're a dream.
Will you step into the light from the screen so that I can make out your shape?
You don't need to tell me anything, because I know what you mean.
The rain shall come, and corpses become roses.
There's a hidden beauty finding it's way out of everything.
Katie, will you come true for me? Come by sometime when I'm awake?
Everyone else just lies to me; yeah they say you're a dream.
Will you step into the light from the screen so that I can make out your shape?
You don't need to tell me anything, because I know what you mean.
Just hold your tongue. Don't be so quick to curse them.
There's a hidden beauty finding it's way out of everyone.
Katie, will you come true for me? Come by sometime when I'm awake?
Everyone else just lies to me; yeah they say you're a dream.
Will you step into the light from the screen so that I can make out your shape?
You don't need to tell me anything, because I know what you mean.
