Dreaming Your Life Away - The Motors

Crazy seeds of drugged up borough kids

Are getting me right down it seems

Peace and love and all that phony stuff

You just don’t know what it means

Don’t call me mad

With your joy and your fancy head

You’re living in the in-between world

Making out the best you can

S-S-S-Sweet Lorraine is making with cocaine

It dance away her hype it seems

Uncle Lou just don’t know what to do

So he decides to fake a dream

He takes another tranquilizer

He takes his TV set to bed

For a late night show replaces the real world

Going out inside his head

Dreaming your life away

Dreaming your life away

Union Jack is gonna send them back

He’s gotta made you for a wild regime

His mind was born inside a uniform

To paralyze on leaves with dream

Don’t call me brother

With your battle and your marching men

Sewing thread of hope and glory

In nuclear garbage can
