[Messed?] and peculiar

Dancing with Julia

I see no spare sky

This is the last try

The static from dreaming

Is only now seeming

To bring on disaster

I told you, I asked her

All she said was, "No"

Refrain:

Sometimes you need a matador

Sometimes you need a charging bull

The dust will rise and shield the sky

No dreams to push, no dreams to pull

Down to the bone

I was dancing with Mona

New stars are born she says

At the break of morning

Just before morning

I must be up and dressed to survive

It's been a week now

I've had no sleep how

I think this maybe far

Only Good truly knows

Repeat Refrain 2 times

Hold back the dream
