Thought I was laying in the gutter in
Milk cartons and bones
But I was standing on a mountain top
Looking over your homes
Thought I was laying in my garden with
My hands deep in soil
But I was there on an island
Shooting flares at you both
Thought I was soothing like a violin
Confessing new rain
But I was piping like a trumpet
Frantic but faint
Thought I was built like a building´s built
On concrete and stone
I realized I´m just a hack actor
Finished playing my role

You´re reading my thoughts
Dreams old men dreams
It´s just like when we were kids
We´d lay around wondering
We try to listen to what they said

Thought I was writing for a hundred hours
Looking straight into me
But I was reading on the newspaper obituary
Thought I was nervous like mail man
Reading your letters dear
But I was at our anniversary
Toasting thirty years

You´re reading my thoughts
Dreams old men dream
It´s just like when we were kids
We´d lay around wondering
We try to listen to what they say x2

Push my piano outside
I don´t care x2
Meet the media black sky
I don´t care x2
The neighbors will complain
Let them stare x2
Who knows where the time goes
I don´t care x2

What would you think of me if I told you
I haven´t slept in weeks
I´ve been up chasing my childhood with a pen
These are dreams old men dream
