What would I dreamer do?
Rainbow it has it's hue
See it's long been hunted down
There are far too many clowns
Far too many carnivals
Some tell me be like me
No one's like you, you see
Hiding your secret side
All the hungry fools have died
And lock in the mysteries
Seems to be to fix up things
I should fly on brazen wings
Passing by all that conforms
Wearing no raincoat in the storm
And to hell with umbrellas
Put on a brand new suit
I'd buy straw hat and boots
Lived, accepted normal life
Answer to how's your wife and your children?
Should I wait in my seat, watch as the blood heats?
I may know no other task
I won't wait so please don't ask
Gotta go do something
I don't recall anyone
Task or duty, fail my line
Songs are nothing but the same
Say they're never listening
I'm hearing the music he's playing
Have it all figured out I guess
I'm confused all the rest
But I won't live 8-5
I'll be 8 to 5 alive
Even on the weekends
I've walked down a lot of streets
Get up and go when I eat
Throw away that business suit
Track mud on another mans carpet
