Famous Dreams

Sittin under low lights fakin it through the slow nights Savin the best ones for last
All the restless ones talkin they’re like hungry cats stalkin One another in some hollywood cast
The smiles come easy but they don’t stay long Like a grade school playground like a juke box song So you listen to the sound
Listen to the sound
Of your famous dreams comin down
All the pavement pounders and night time rounders Gather in the down town dark
Over whisky wet tables they fold out fables that fall Sorry short of the mark
Smoke ring room makes a bleary eyed scene They talk real smooth but you know what they mean Listen to the sound
Listen to the sound
Of your famous dreams comin down
You’re feelin like a gypsy moth caught under glass Wings pinned down for a second grade class to see Listen to the sound
Listen to the sound
Of your famous dreams comin down
