The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I sat alone with the dreams of children

Weeping willows and tall dark building, and

I've caught a fashion from the dreams of children

But woke up sweating to this modern nightmare, and

I was alone, no one was there

I was alone, no one was there

I caught a glimpse from the dreams of children

I got a feeling of optimism

But woke up to a grey and lonely picture

The streets below left me feeling dirty, and

I was alone, no one was there

I was alone, no one was there

Something's gonna crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

You are going to crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

Something's going to crack up your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

I fell in love with the dreams of children

I saw a vision of all the happy days

I've caught a fashion from the dreams of children

But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and

I was alone, no one was there

I was alone, no one was there

Something's gonna crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

Something's going to crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

Something's going to crack up your dreams tonight

You will choke on your dreams tonight

Something's going to crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

Something's going to crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight

You will crack on your dreams tonight
