[Intro]
(x2)
[Verse 1]
I had a dream that we were coming down, we were coming down,
But you were too strung out to see it
I had a dream that we wore golden crowns and purple gowns,
We ruled a suburban kingdom
I had a dream that we were settled down in a normal town,
We were absolutely ordinary
I had a dream we owned a big ol house and gigantic frowns,
It was actually kind of scary
[Chorus]
But I m the man of my dreams,
When I m dreamin
At least that s how it seems
To be seemin
During those six short hours between
Workin and drinkin
Workin and drinkin
Workin and drinkin
Workin and drinkin
[Verse 2]
I had a dream that we were hiccup drunk in a pickup truck
Up on the tracks out in Azusa
I had a dream that we were singin songs, they were slow and long
We sang them all with Ricky Souza
I had a dream that we were sellin out to the cash and clout,
And ending up in all the movies
I had a dream that we could twist and shout and break it down,
But we d forgotten what was groovy
[Chorus]
But I m the man of my dreams,
When I m dreamin
At least that s how it seems
To be seemin
During those six short hours between
Workin and drinkin , oh baby
Workin and drinkin , oh baby
Workin and drinkin , oh honey
Workin and drinkin
[Outro]
But I ve only got one match left
To light two cigarettes on those streets,
And if it breaks, I just know I ain t ever gonna give
But I ll take life on the chin, long as I got jack and jim,
This here guitar, and all my wonderful holiday friends
