Dreams - Langhorne Slim

There’s more to this madness than smiles and sadness

There’s more to the dance than who you can take

Music is playing, bodies are swaying

But the song’s all wrong and we’ve made a mistake

The dreams they sell

I don’t believe

What they don’t tell

It’s only a dream if we stay asleep

All is in motion just look at the ocean

But there’s slights of hands and tricks up the sleeves

There was a time we looked up at the sky

Now we stare down toward the dirt at our feet

The dreams they sell

I don’t believe

What they don’t tell

It’s only a dream if we stay asleep

There’s infinite beauty, I let it pass through me

Now my eyes are open, I’m ready my Lord

I got so tired, I nearly expired

But I ain’t got time to be tired no more

The dreams they sell

I don’t believe

What they don’t tell

It’s only a dream if we stay asleep

The dreams they sell

I don’t believe

What they don’t tell

It’s only a dream if we stay asleep

There’s more to this madness than smiles and sadness

Than what we collect while our tails are in chase

From the beginning we’re dreaming of winning

But life it ain’t living until we’re awake
