One eye is open, the other eye is shut
|
Don't throw anything to me
|
I'm in no place, no place to receive
|
And I just can't move a thing
|
Things are rough down here
|
You know it's a little grim
|
Whatever you've got to pick me up
|
To help me out, I'm in
|
I'm down with that
|
|
In my dream I can fly, fly high
|
Over the fields and across the sky
|
Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
|
If you could take me back up there
|
I'm down, down with that
|
|
When I escape and close my eyes
|
Can't tell you from me
|
Sometimes in the dreams I look at myself
|
And it's looks so good, what I see
|
I'm having a little trouble here
|
Could you maybe help me out?
|
A little confidence pill you got
|
To take away my self-doubt
|
I'm down with that
|
|
In my dream I can fly, fly high
|
Over the fields and across the sky
|
Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
|
If you could take me back up there
|
I'm down, down with that
|
|
Slow down sun, shake yourself
|
Why make your own hell?
|
Say what are you doing son?
|
I'm just trying to likemyself
|
I'd love to help myself
|
You know I really, really would
|
May your days be bright and well
|
|
In my dream I can fly, fly high
|
Over the fields and across the sky
|
Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
|
If you could take me back up there
|
I'm down, down with that
|

|
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill
|
Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill
|
Well, if I die on top of the hill
|
And if I don't make it, you know my baby will
|
|
Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees?
|
Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the "Double E"?
|
Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea?
|
Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me?
|
|
Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
|
I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across
|
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss
|
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
|
