Danny Carlisle
He wanted a tree fort more than anything
Yes, he wanted to build and defend one on his own
But the neighbour boys' BB siege was overwhelming
So he won't be building his dream tree fort anymore
He received a five-speed Schwinn for Christmas
So he built a ramp out of the plywood and a stump
And at nights he dreamed Evil Knievel
And a canyon to jump in his backyard
Danny Carlisle
He don't give a shit about the Contras
Danny Carlisle
He's barely grown and he's used up most of his options
And still he would rather dream, dream, dream
Still he would rather dream than fuck
Once he used a pocket knife to kill a garden snake
Yes, he chopped that evil serpent into fours
And when he raised his eyes to heaven as a soldier
He wiped the blood of bad snake on his shirt
Yeah, Danny Carlisle
He don't give a shit about the Contras
Yeah Danny Carlisle
He's barely grown and he's used up most of his options
And still he would rather dream, dream, dream than fuck
Still he would rather dream than fuck
Yes, he wanted to build and defend one on his own
But the neighbour boys' BB siege was overwhelming
So he won't be building his dream tree fort anymore
He received a five-speed Schwinn for Christmas
So he built a ramp out of the plywood and a stump
And at nights he dreamed Evil Knievel
And a canyon to jump in his backyard
Danny Carlisle
He don't give a shit about the Contras
Danny Carlisle
He's barely grown and he's used up most of his options
And still he would rather dream, dream, dream
Still he would rather dream than fuck
Once he used a pocket knife to kill a garden snake
Yes, he chopped that evil serpent into fours
And when he raised his eyes to heaven as a soldier
He wiped the blood of bad snake on his shirt
Yeah, Danny Carlisle
He don't give a shit about the Contras
Yeah Danny Carlisle
He's barely grown and he's used up most of his options
And still he would rather dream, dream, dream than fuck
Still he would rather dream than fuck
