lyrics

When I first lay dreaming
There was nothing at all
could've stopped me from dreaming
or put me back in a world
where loves doomed to fall
When I first lay dreaming
When I first lay dreaming about you

When I first lay dreaming
There was nothing on TV
but a hollow silence, comical violence,
little house on the periphery
When I first lay dreaming
When I first lay dreaming about you

When I first lay dreaming
the waters ran in blue, silver and gold
The days seemed endless
The sun fired up the loins
of the young and the old
I remember when your touch was soft and true
Could you ever lose your touch for telling me what to do?

When I first lay dreaming
there were shadows in the air
A riot and a roaring,
crying and imploring
but I couldn't hear a single word
I just didn't care
When I first lay dreaming
When I first lay dreaming about you

Now you're standing on the corner
like an unfair comment
and the wind that whistles you
up and takes you off
O baby in wild blue blazes
we shattered Rodriguez
and wore out laces
I'll freeze my assets off
Drink a toast to you in hell
Don't wanna know nothing
unless you tell it
