Caught in a Dream

About Caught in a Dream

"Caught in a Dream" is a 1971 song written by Michael Bruce and recorded by his band, Alice Cooper, on their first major label release album Love It to Death. As the album's second single "Caught in a Dream" was released backed with "Hallowed Be My Name" in May 1971; it peaked in the US at number 94. Coming just before the album's signature hit "I'm Eighteen", "Caught in a Dream" opens Love It to Death. It is a straight-ahead rocker that follows simple hard-rock formulas, trading heavy riffing with guitar fills and solos, "Caught in a Dream" was the album's second single and featured irreverent, tongue-in-cheek lyrics such as "I need everything the world owes me / I tell that to myself and I agree".  more »

Well I'm runnin through the world
With a gun in my back
Tryin' to catch a ride in a Cadillac
Thought that I was livin'
But you can't really tell
Been tryin' to get away
From that success smell

You know I need a houseboat and I need a plane
I need a butler and a trip to Spain
I need everything
The world owes me
I tell that to myself
And I agree

I'm caught in a dream
So What!
You don't know what I'm goin' through
I'm right in between
So I'll
I'll just play along with you

Well I'm runnin' through the world
With a gun in my back
Tryin' to catch a ride in that Cadillac
Thought I was livin'
But you can't never tell
What I thought was heaven
Turned out to be hell

Whoa-o-oh
When you see me with a smile on my face
Whoa-o-oh
Then you'll know I'm a mental case

I'm caught in a dream
So what!
I don't know what I'm going through
I'm right in between
So I'll
I'll just play along with you

Whoa-o-oh Oh
Whoa-o-oh Oh
Whoa-o-oh
