Grant-Lee Phillips - Beautiful Dreamers lyrics

Gunning for a miracle One they can't take away Found it in a skinny girl Might have been half his age Betty likes to push his bu*tons And Marco, he lose his cool Call each other good for nothin' Yet when the war is through They crawl out the fire escape And take sweet time making up Beautiful dreamers Beautiful ones Carla, she's a true romantic Living her life in verse And Daniel was her live-in love When everything turned for worse Could have been a chance relation Both of them lonely souls Struggle with the big decisions Both of them growing old Now and then They break their vows To spend these nights alone Beautiful dreamers Beautiful ones Beautiful dreamers Odd ones All of us trapped in the webs we've spun Beautiful Venus Love, love All of us flying too close to the sun Close the sun And, honey, what of you and I? How will they tell our story? Maybe like a movie script Seen through an open doorway And as the camera pulls away We could have been anybody Beautiful dreamers Beautiful ones
