Lyrics:
taken in this time
You might just get out alive if you're lucky
All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch
Are looking in on you
And they're hungry
He
and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
We are the orphans of the American Dreams
Oh, shine your light on me
You can't fill your
(Praises sing to Christ the King and peace to men on earth)
On Christmas Eve I dreamed I traveled all around the earth
And in my dream I saw
the shirt right off my back
You can dream about a honeymoon for two
You can dream but that's about all you can do
'Cause by the time old uncle Sam gets
to start beef but spark trees, no cops rolling by
No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets
No reason, for nobody's momma to cry
See I'm a good
I'm missin' let it be you
Let it be you who wakes me in the morning
Let it be you who lays down with me each night
Side by side we can dream
of the fellas they
Wish they could bite
On the cute little nuggets
The local girls are showin' off tonight
You know I think it serves 'em right
You know I think
all but fade
Where we are judged by not what we took
But what we gave
There'll come a war
There'll come a war
curfew's early
You ain't home by 2:30, you heard me?
Hey lady, hey darlin', hey baby
I'm sorry but I can't be your boyfriend
If you toy with my
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
Well, I'd like to tell you all about my dream
It's a place where strip malls abound
And diversion's mere moments away
Where culture's defined by
whisper, promises in the dark
Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the night
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Blinded by
in dreams and all they mean
Including heaven's generosity
Peeping round the door
To see what parcels are for free
In curiosity
And Tommy doesn't
they don't know you like I know you
If they did I know they'd see
Yes they'd see
To me you are
Heaven's finest invention by far
So much brighter
let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours"
I said that
the chronic by the tree
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
Throw your hands in the air, if you's a true player
I love it when you call me Big Poppa
come running in your fright
Seeking shelter from the night
And you search each passing face
For a sign someone could care
But they rush by in their
Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble.
Listen too long, you
Every day that you pass my way, I wonder, I wonder about your life
What is your age, are you connected if so, does she treat you right
Now please,
a free and gentle flower growin' wild
And if by chance I should hold her (Hold her)
Let me, let me hold her for a little while
And if I had but one
I believe? I guess I believe because
I believe, I believe, I believe that dreams come true.
If you'll wish for the dream by a wishing well,
Things are crashing down, she's all too tight
In my neighborhood she cry both day and night
It's a milestone but she's down on her luck
Days make her
try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her)
There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up
But
You cannot hide the truth
And although you will say
I am still too naive
But I have not lost faith
In the things I believe
And if I don't have a this
