Dreams
LIKE WHO THE HELL YOU ARE
The band strode to their instruments
A quickened air of confidence
Permeates the hangar for the day's appointed shoot
They lay it down, attack the song
Catch lightning for eternity
And swagger back to sunlight as the notes escort them out
chorus:
Forged within the core
And cauldron of a star
So live your life
Like who the hell you are
Infinite lifescapes -
Familiar to bizarre -
Revel on through Time
Like who the hell you are
The artist paints, his glare intense
A theme runs bold and evident
The sense he's on to something fills the Paris afternoon
And there it is, the masterstroke
The feeling no one dared evoke
A canvas revolution in the making starts to bloom
(chorus)
TYCOON
verse 1:
How much do you want for this dream?
Don't be stubborn - name your price
I'm a connoisseur and know when I see
High quality merchandise
verse 2:
I've seen all sorts of dreams in my time
But this one's the cat's meow
Looks like someone tried to make it real
And maybe didn't know how
chorus 2x:
I'm a tycoon of second hand dreams
And I'm here to make a deal
Tycoon of second hand dreams
And I'm here to make some real
verse 3:
I've seen this town before the wars
Before the crisis hit
Before right-wing talk radio
Turned everything to shit
verse 4:
I've seen the best dreams come and go
I've seen the worst ones rule
I've seen some dreams bait everyone
With no one left to fool
(chorus 2x)
bridge:
From the lonely girl on the rooftop
To the runaway at the bus stop
From the unknown artist in the studio
To the one-hit wonder on the radio
Every town's got its own crop
