Serious Dreamers

Left at the roadside with this rapidly burning map

like a magician with no rabbits in his hat

Line up the measures to fulfill your brothers dreams

across the land we pay in sweat, keepin' up the steam

Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming

but I know it's just a lie!

Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming

and you know we're aiming high

Put on your makeup, put on your dancing shoes

into the wasteland we've all seen you

dance away the blues

No time for introversions no more time to play

Serious distractions always seem to come your way

Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming

but I know it's just a lie!

Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming

and you know we're aiming high

From the nest we descend in a mist,

all like birds on thin ice

From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on

and turn to the wise

And the code that was written in blood & flesh

in an ancient time

From the kingdom of heaven

the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU.

Playground Pirates gaze at the Sun

far out sisters and flying Nun

Poor Picasso gaze at the art

Ahead of time means a Lonely heart

War is over, boys are home

move into the friendly zone

Dream at Diners, dying slowly

where hungry hearts grows cold and lonely

From the nest we descend in a mist,

all like birds on thin ice

From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on

and turn to the wise

And the code that was written in blood & flesh

in an ancient time

From the kingdom of heaven

the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU.
