There was a boy who had a dream
About a world he'd never seen
Where the buffalo they roam free
With the nuclear submarines
There was a boy who had a dream
About a man who'd lead the world
Into the darkest of the nights
Where the shadows meet the void
There was a boy who had a dream
About a ship that's sinking near
And there ain't nothing he can do
And there ain't nothing he wants to do
There was a boy who had a dream
About a diamond chandelier
Falling from the sky
Falling into his arms
Tell me a story before you put me to sleep
I want to believe in heroes
Tell me the sun will shine again
The garden is dying with us
And the numbers they're all wrong
And the light is turning off
And voice is getting far
And his hands are feeling numb
And the patterns don't make sense
And the walls are closing in
And the d** are wearing out
A million mile from home
And his time is running out
And the doctor is amused
This place looks like a zoo
There's nothing left to lose
Tell me a story before you put me to sleep
I want to believe in heroes
Will we become what we have always feared?
A plastic and broken record
Playing forever for no one to hear
The jukebox keeps floating…
