the reoccuring dream
Singer:joni mitchell
this is the reoccurring dream
born in the dreary gap between
and what we wish we could have
more fulfilling--and less frustrating!
out of the envy in our eyes
glamorous picture people rise
gleaming down from screens and pages
ooh--glamour--before your very eyes!
isn't it true--isn't it true?
good question--i know--who cares
if we had that for us mmmmm
your lovers would look like movie stars
order your youth secrets of the stars
our discontent is their delight
they offer relief for the purchase price
is that our new car charles?
isn't it true--isn't it true?
we guarantee it--pick up your phone and dial
i want a new truck!--more power!
true love will come to you
your lovers would look like movie stars
hollywood's greatest legends
he's going to love me in this ruby
others will notice!--sexy!--who cares!
the fashion looks you've been hoping for
we will have happiness in heaven
the place you dreamed of retiring to--
i know that glamour is--sexy
i'm afraid i can't go below two million
life would be easy if i had that new appliance
food processors for all of us
there are lots of strings
we can solve everything in science
it's a picture of how to get what you want out of life
isn't there some other way?
