You Dreamer Lyrics - Why The Long Face - Big Country

Down at the corner store 

Never busy any more 

He's in the back room talking pie 

In there all by himself 

Counting bugs up on 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 

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 

You know there's 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 guide book 

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 

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 

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 

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
