John Wesley Harding - When Dreams Come True (Alternate Version) lyrics

Nice girls are writing in journals Things they wish they'd done And all their bad sisters are walking high wires Counting the days in a month The awful truth doesn't bear thinking Nor does the half-baked lie They get their hopes dirty once in a while Wash them and hang them to dry Everyone's down except for the clowns And noah don't know where to go It's hell up in heaven, there's nothing much here And all the real men are below What happens when dreams come true? Will we know what to do When our dreams come true? So a saviour rolls in past the big sign That says "strangers - please turn round" The men tie him up to a feeding post And take his credentials down The sun beats rays on our salad days His lips get parched and dry The girls bring him drink with a giggle and a wink And his moment of glory expires What happens when dreams come true? Will we know what to do When our dreams come true? Mr.sandman can't believe it He thought he gave them what they needed You couldn't get no higher Than a handsome dark messiah But he's got one more trick up his sleeve Before he gives up once again A siren goes off as she walks in As the cowboy lies dying in the dust She walks through the room where the gentlemen gather Surrounded by debris and rust She smoulders and steams, straight out of their dreams But no-one will talk to her first Big words are just words They're small and absurd She leaves and we all die of thirst What happens when dreams come true? Will we know what to do When our dreams come true?
