Dreamer

Woke up in a taxi cab halfway to Chicago A bottle of rum and the clothes on my back Is all that I've got to hold onto I'm a dreamer, underachiever And I'm barely scraping by Kidnapping words just like caging birds To force a lullaby Street signs reflecting city lights Illuminates my stage My melody echos through the night On streets with unknown names Strike your matches, inhale ashes Break a string along the way Send a postcard, to give your regards To the gods of time and space Looking back shouldn't be that hard The rearview mirror always standing guard It's just me, a day in the life It's just me and my bloodshot eyes I'm a dream, but I know I'll wake up soon I just know I'll wake up soon
