lyrics

Yeah it’s always been lively here
And the people they like conversation
It’s a custom fit
I ride around in circles

And I wish that, I wish that I
I wish that I was dreaming

Eventually, I search for water
And I wade all the way in
I can no longer hear my thoughts
Outside it’s blaring, and the rooftops are screaming my name
I wish that I was dreaming

I wish that, I wish that I
I wish that I was dreaming
I wish that, I wish that I
I wish that I was dreaming

I wish that I
I could work in an empty park
Have the table to myself
And birdsong to fill my brain
Otherwise, I listen
Try to decipher everything
I wish that I was dreaming

Choirs of quick thinkin’
Coming through the television
Quiet the slick taIking
I’m tired of sleep walking

I wish that, I wish that I
I wish that I was dreaming
I wish that, I wish that I
I wish that I was dreaming
I wish that, I wish that I
I wish that I was dreaming
I wish that, I wish that I
I wish that I was dreaming
