Bilingual
Down at the corner store
Never busy anymore
He's in the backroom talking by
In there all by himself
Counting bugs up from the shelf
Watching the window fill with flies
Oh, you dreamer
Is this the way that you believed your life was gonna turn out
Oh, you dreamer
Is this the better world that you were making all those plans for
ย
Meanwhile in the great indoors
Pizza boxes on the floor
Prescription junkies pass the day
TV actors screw around
Wrapped in silk and dressing gowns
A grown-up drama for a day
Oh, you dreamer
Is this the way that you believed your life was gonna turn out
Oh, you dreamer
Is this the better world that you were making all those plans for
ย
You know there's a house on Victory Street
Where no one wipes their feet
A car is rusting in the yard
Mommy scrubs and Daddy scores
Keeps his stash beneath the floor
Under the bed of baby blue
I need a guidebook
Get me a map
Not even Indiana Jones could deal with that
The tank is empty
A wheel came off
How can someone find me if no one knows I'm lost
Hey, if no one knows I'm lost
Oh, you dreamer
Is this the way that you believed your life was gonna turn out
Oh, you dreamer
Is this the better world that you were making all those plans for
