Kids And Dreamers

WE ALL REMEMBER SPECIAL KIDS WHO ALWAYS GOT STRAIGHT A’S
WHILE WE THE DREAMERS LOCKED IN DREAMS REFUSED TO CHANGE OUR WAYS

BUT A KIDS SKIPPED ON DREAMING
AND DREAMERS SKIPPED ON A’S
AND SOMEHOW THOSE BETWEEN US
THEY WENT ON TO BETTER DAYS
 
WELL NOW I’M GROWN
AND LIFE’S BEEN HARD
BUT I STILL LIVE IN DREAMS
AND PAY THE ONE STRAIGHT A KID SHRINK
TO TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS

BUT HE’S NOT INTO DREAMING
AND I’M NOT INTO BRAINS
AND SOMEWHERE FOLKS ARE TELLING JOKES
NOT ANALYZING PAIN

MAYBE I’M DREAMING THAT LIFE CAN BE EASY
MAYBE IT HELPS ME TO GET THROUGH MY LIFE
TO THINK THAT THE OTHERS MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS
ESCAPED ALL THE SADNESS THAT CUTS LIKE A KNIFE

BETWEEN THE DARK AND DAYLIGHT
LIES A PLEASANT AFTERNOON
BUT STILL I DREAM IN WILD EXTREME
AND REACH FOR EVERY MOON

WHILE FANTASY’S IMPOSSIBLE
REALITY’S INSANE
BUT GUYS IN BACKYARDS
AND HALLMARK CARDS
PERHAPS THEY BEAT THE GAME

MAYBE IT HELPS ME TO GET THROUGH MY LIFE
TO THINK THAT THE OTHERS MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS
ESCAPED ALL THE SADNESS THAT CUTS LIKE A KNIFE

BETWEEN THE DARK AND DAYLIGHT
LIES A PLEASANT AFTERNOON
BUT STILL I DREAM IN WILD EXTREME
AND REACH FOR EVERY MOON

WHILE FANTASY’S IMPOSSIBLE
REALITY’S INSANE
BUT GUYS IN BACKYARDS
AND HALLMARK CARDS
PERHAPS THEY BEAT THE GAME
