| There was a boy who had a dream
|
| About a world he’d never seen
|
| Where the buffalo they roam free
|
| With the nuclear submarines
|
| There was a boy who had a dream
|
| About a man who’d lead the world
|
| Into the darkest of the nights
|
| Where the shadows meet the void
|
| There was a boy who had a dream
|
| About a ship that’s sinking near
|
| And there ain’t nothing he can do
|
| And there ain’t nothing he wants to do
|
| There was a boy who had a dream
|
| About a diamond chandelier
|
| Falling from the sky
|
| Falling into his arms
|
| Tell me a story before you put me to sleep
|
| I want to believe in heroes
|
| Tell me the sun will shine again
|
| The garden is dying with us
|
| And the numbers they’re all wrong
|
| And the light is turning off
|
| And voice is getting far
|
| And his hands are feeling numb
|
| And the patterns don’t make sense
|
| And the walls are closing in
|
| And the drugs are wearing out
|
| A million mile from home
|
| And his time is running out
|
| And the doctor is amused
|
| This place looks like a zoo
|
| There’s nothing left to lose
|
| Tell me a story before you put me to sleep
|
| I want to believe in heroes
|
| Will we become what we have always feared?
|
| A plastic and broken record
|
| Playing forever for no one to hear
|
| The jukebox keeps floating… |
