Way too many dreams
Get lost in silent screams
How can you count the cost of a city
Bursting at the seams
With red lights, quiet sinners
Killer cops, t.v. Dinners
A wind of change for all the deadheads
That need blowing away
I blew you far away to have a dream
And you came back to say it's out there
Don't let it get away
But still you're here with hours to kill
You're murdered so many, you're serially ill
You'll wait for another
And you'll kill again
Show me your skin
I need to get in
Why did you do it
Was it just for fun
To put me out the picture
Or out of misery
Was it a shock
Was it a plea
Was it a question, tell me
Did you get any answers?
Show me your skin
I need to get in
Have you seen what it's like
To be really free
Or is everything a mess
Like it is inside
Is it a test
A russian roulette
A gamble with life
Or just a bet?
Is it London town
Is it n.y.c
Is it anarchy
Tell me did you get any answers?
Show me your skin
I need to get inIt was just another ordinary day
Well there was nothing much happening anyway
Then out of the blue I hear from you
Taking me back to days that I once knew
You said "Hi, it's me, do you remember?
How the hell you been and how do you feel?"
And I said, I said
I feel a little sentimental, I'm so high
You know I had a real good time
You know I'm feeling almost presidential
That is why I'm on the happy side of life
It was such an extraordinary weeked
Since we'd only just met two days before
he held my hand like he'd known me forever
We drank so much we spent the night on the floor
I said "I'm glad you called and that you remember
So where the hell you been and how do you feel?"
And he said, he said
I feel a little sentimental, I'm so high
You know I had a real good time
You know I'm feeling almost presidential
That is why I'm on the happy side of life
How come it seems oh so good
When you're looking back, when you remember?
How come it's all good not bad
When you're looking back when you remember?
Maybe it's just plain to say
It's not as good as we remember
I feel a little sentimental, I'm so high
You know I had a real good time
You know I'm feeling almost presidential
That is why I'm on the happy side of life
Oh - oh - I'm just feeling sentimental
Oh - oh - I'm just feeling sentimental
I'm just feeling sentimental
I'm just feeling sentimental.......
