Waking from a dream
Will it disappear?
Can you look me in the eye? Tell me: do you see a trace of fear?
Crawling out of bed in my head I can't handle the day
I was hoping for release, oh give me peace, just get out of my way
On and on and on and on we fly
I live and I laugh and I cry
So doctor take a hammer to my broken heart
Won't you tell me why I've got trouble on my mind
Try to read the meaning of a song on a spent coffee cup
It said life's a contradiction holy water from a dirty jug
Tried impressing honeys with the monies that I'd already spent
Crying to a hobo I'm in trouble cause I ain't got no rent
Ever feel they are dragging you under, premonition I'm going
Held the 12 but they dealt me a king to deny
On and on and on and on we fly
I live and I laugh and I cry
Hey doctor take a hammer to my broken heart
I will show you why I've got trouble on my mind
We could have it all, we could have it all
We could have it all but it's falling through our hands
Help me to understand, oh
Help me to understand
On and on and on and on we fly
I live and I laugh and I cry
So doctor take a hammer to my broken heart
For I'm wondering why, I've got trouble going
On and on and on and on we fly
I live and I laugh and I cry
So doctor take a hammer to my broken heart
Won't you tell me why, I've got trouble on my mind
