Dream On Boy Lyrics

  Send "Twisted And Bent" Ringtone to your Cell  

I come aboard

     I sing a lament

     The world isn't round

     It's Twisted and Bent

     But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself

     Is the kind of fate I never contemplate

     That reminds me of the time I felt

     It's time for sin and catholic guilt

     Two years later to the day

     I had reason to confess

     With her hair a shining shade

     Of bus-conductress blonde

     Tales of music and movement

     Were told in grip and groan

     But to put these thoughts

     In songs like theirs

     Of the honest truth

     There'd be no trace

     Just lying out loud

     Good God give me strength to face another lazy day of

     "If I was a millionaire I'd be a million miles from here"

     You came into my life like a brick through a window

     And I cracked a smile

     I know her face so well

     Although the color of her eyes

     Escapes me for the moment

     Though her embrace

     Is like being short-changed

     But if I knew what made carpets fly

     I wouldn't be sitting here

     Twiddling my thumbs

     I'd threadbare my soul

     And wheedle my way

     Into other people's lives

     And out of my own

     So typical - a battle of wits

     And I've come half prepared

     Now we raised a toast to celebrate

     As December's embers fade

     But every fire is just a hoax

     For January's little joke

     Halfway to paralyzed my understudy's eyes grew tired

     Every actor hides a heckle,

     doctor hydes a jekyll

     See through my disguise

     But I forget the conversation we had

     I don't remember what you said or did

     That made you so attractive

     I'm immortal

     And that's no life at all
