I don't have much money or a place to sleep I've found me some friends and been awake all week I crawl out and try and find my way home I beg for some change beside the pay phone
I'm gonna take her away from that big bad world She calls me a dreamer, I call her my girl But she can't stand to see my face, no She said she's never had to look at such a waster But I dream...
And as I'm walkin' away She asks me to dance I fall through the stars She tells me this is my last chance
As I dream For all of my friends Who fail to see There's more to life than meetin' ends
And I'm all on my own again To face this world, afraid But she don't care...
I scraped my feet down the street where we once were small The flats we used to hide in now don't seem so tall And I remember all the faces and the chases we had All the fights at night, the blacks and whites, the bluff from the step
I take a look at my reflection and it don't look pleased I tell myself I'm precious, then I jump to please She said: "Son, when's the last time you rested your head? Oh, your face is pale, your frame is frail when you're lookin' dead Come with me..."
And as I'm walkin' away She asks me to dance I fall through the stars She tells me this is my last chance
As I dream For all of my friends Who fail to see There's more to life than meetin' ends, oh...
