NEW song choice

The new choice of song for my idea is 'Sleepwalking - Chain Gang Of 1974.' I used this song in my piece last year for added effect on a drama genred opening, I feel given the context im using the song in it will fit perfectly. However, it is popular but this is given to its promotion by GTA V, which in its self challenges ordinary conventions, as you'd expect 18* rated stuff however, my text will not follow those conventions of the song, nor will it follow the representation in the original video.

Here are the Lyrics:

Destiny turned her face
Nightmares and violent shapes
State of dreaming 
Has left me numb
Blue eyes and wandering lips
True lies with fingertips
Hidden tales of forbidden
Love
You've left me miserable
Miserable
Miserable
Mis-er-a-ble
Love
You've left me miserable
Miserable
Miserable
Mis-er-a-ble
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Visions of better times
Kingdoms and lilac wine
Why did God fail
To improve us
Teardrops of acid rain
Burning down through my veins
Can't I just sleep for now
Now
Despite my fears 
I dance for you
And did what others knew
I
Would care
Would wait
And live again
More desperate
Desperate
Yeah
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Yeah
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
(Now despite my fears I dance for you)
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
(Oh would care would wait and live again)
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking
Maybe we're just sleepwalking

Orange highlighted text,  simply signifies that the visuals will remain ambient to the lyrics.
Blue Highlighted text, will signify the area of the song where it will be animated to represent a dream.

Learning the lyrics helps me as it allows me to plan my shots to the lyrics, but also to the timing of them, therefore if I choose to use lip-syncing the piece won't look off.
