you dreamer

down at the corner store

never busy any more

he's in the back room talking pie

in there all by himself

counting bugs up on the shelf

watching the window fill with flies

oh you dreamer

is this the way that you believed your life was gonna turn out?

oh you dreamer

is this the better world that you were making all those plans for?

meanwhile in the great indoors

pizza boxes on the floor

prescription junkies pass the day

tv actors screw around

wrapped in silk and dressing gowns

a grown up drama for a day

oh you dreamer

is this the way that you believed your life was gonna turn out?

oh you dreamer

is this the better world that you were making all those plans for?

you know there's house on victory street

where no one wipes their feet

a car is rusting in the yard

mommy scrubs and daddy scores

keeps his stash beneath the floor

under the bed of baby blue

i need a guide book

get me a map

not even indiana jones could deal with that

the tank is empty

a wheel came off

how can someone find me if no one knows i'm lost?

hey

if no one knows i'm lost

oh you dreamer

is this the way that you believed your life was gonna turn out?

oh you dreamer

is this the better world that you were making all those plans for?
