Dream Time
Streets I ran in this whole town
Backstreets and all
I wanted to leave there
But, no matter how fast I run
My feet were glued
I just couldn't move there
I saw the hate and lots of people, I
Heard my name called above the noise and
I tried to speak, but my tongue was tied
Bumped into emptiness and started to cry
I said, "Oh, no"
I saw the lights and the pretty girls
And I
Thought to myself what a pretty world
But, there's
Something else here that puts me off
And I'm so scared, dear
My love comes in frozen packs
Bought in a supermarket
A supermarket
A supermarket
Streets I ran, through wind and rain
Around this place, amongst streaming sunshine
Scared I was, sweating now
Feeling of doom and my bowels turned to water
I felt hot breath whisper in my ear, I
Look for somewhere to hide, but everywhere's closed, I
I shut my eyes, pretend not to be here, but
This feeling's much to real to ever disappear
I said, "Oh, no"
I saw the lights and the pretty girls
And I
Thought to myself what a pretty world
But, there's
Something else here that puts me off
And I'm so scared, dear
Their hate comes in frozen packs
Bought in a supermarket
A supermarket
A supermarket
(Aaah)
Boy, its a tough, tough world
But you've gotta be tough with it
Tough with it
Tough with it
You've gotta be tough with it
Tough with it
You've gotta be tough with it
Tough with it
Tough with it
Tough with it
You've gotta be tough with it
Tough with it
You've gotta be tough with it
Tough with it
I saw the lights and the pretty girls
And I
Thought to myself what a pretty world
But, there's
Something else here that puts me off, I
I saw the lights and the pretty girls
And I
Thought to myself what a pretty world
But, there's
Something else here that puts me off
And I'm so scared, dear
My love comes in frozen packs
Backstreets and all
I wanted to leave there
But, no matter how fast I run
My feet were glued
I just couldn't move there
I saw the hate and lots of people, I
Heard my name called above the noise and

Bumped into emptiness and started to cry

I saw the lights and the pretty girls
And I

But, there's
Something else here that puts me off
And I'm so scared, dear
My love comes in frozen packs

You've gotta be tough with it
Tough with it
You've gotta be tough with it

Something else here that puts me off
And I'm so scared, dear
My love comes in frozen packs
