You Dream Too Much Lyrics - Singles - Richard Thompson

She came down the stairs in her cocktail dress 

She fell on her food like a lioness 

There was ringing in my ears like an SOS 

She said, "You dream too much 

If you think I've a thing for you 

You dream too much, it's going to end bad" 

The boom box was sounding sweet 

We were dancing to a jungle beat 

Just when our lips were about to meet

She said, "You dream too much 

Ah, who's that girl in your dreams with you? 

You dream too much, it's going to end bad" 

You'll stumble going through life 

The way that you do 

I hope I'm somewhere else the day that you do 

The way that you do 

She had a chassis like an XJS 

Skull necklace just like a high priestess 

I thought maybe just one caress 

She said, "You dream too much 

You're dreaming now while I'm talking to you 

You dream too much, it's going to end bad 

Oh, it's going to end bad" 

All my life I've been like this 

I start thinking of the perfect kiss 

A velvet dream on an iron fist

She said, "You dream too much 

Even this isn't really true 

You dream too much, it's going to end bad 

Oh, it's going to end bad, that's going to end bad 

It's going to end bad"
