The Leaving Dream Lyrics - The Roches

Every time she thinks about leaving that night she has the 

same dream 

And it goes like this: 

She's walking across the river 

She's walking across the street 

Looking down she starts to shiver 

Looking down she has no feet. 

The IRS is in hot pursuit 

Disguised as grandmother 

She tried too hard to hide all the loot 

By giving it away to somebody or other 

Who works in a skyscraper 

Where there's a receptionist at the door 

But she doesn't have the right piece of paper 

And her pants aren't on anymore. 

Suddenly she's sitting on the toilet 

Right there in plain view of the man 

As usual she had to go and spoil it 

Just when everything was going according to plan. 

Then the bus came by and she missed it 

So it came by again and she missed it again 

The third time it came by she kissed it 

Which put her in the arms of her ex-boyfriend 

Who was alive again, he was alive! 

And she no longer grieving 

But she throws off his embrace and runs from the scene.
