Terrible Thing to Dream

Can’t believe that I am sitting here
Embers of my eminent career burning
Dropped my pennies in the wishing well
Spent more than I’d ever care to tell yearning
This is not my name, is not my life, my happy ending
It’s the worst thing
It’s a terrible thing to dream
To dream
All the tricks to life I thought I knew
Ends up that no matter what you do you fall
Smile each time he cares to make a pass
Mind and soul are lips and tits and ass, that’s all
There’s a life that’s good, a life that’s mine, I’ll never know now
It’s the worst thing
It’s a terrible thing to dream
To dream
I’ve come looking for the safest place to hide from what I fear
There’s no love to fill this vacancy inside
And yet I’m home
Here to stay
This is not my name, is not my life, my happy ending
It’s the worst thing
It’s a terrible thing to dream
To dream
