I had a dream about candied bridges,
Soup kitchens, and Marlboro Reds
And I was friends with Sam Houston,
Dave and Goliath, and Johnny Bench
You had drinks with Pete Seeger
In Rosarito as the sun went down
And there we'd sing songs by John Lennon,
Bob Dylan, and Bozo the Clown
Strange how we find out, it’s love that’s what matters
No point in goin’ it alone
Some say they’ve realized it’s chains and mad hatters
And sweet talkin’ rhymes between the deaf and the blind
‘round a hole
I painted this town with no companion
On a wild stallion wearin’ a thorny crown
You’d been to the top of the highest mountain,
Drank from a whiskey fountain, and you ain’t never looked down
We saw the fall of the greatest hero
Who was labeled a zero in the aftermath
And we saw the rise of Joe criminal
And his ceremonial spreading of ash
Strange how we find out, it’s love that’s what matters
No point in goin’ it alone
Some say they’ve realized it’s chains and mad hatters
And sweet talkin’ rhymes between the deaf and the blind
‘round a hole
So damn long, I wanted you so damn long
Wanted you so damn long, I wanted you so
So damn long, I wanted you so damn long
Wanted you so damn long, I wanted you so
