The Flower Kings - Serious Dreamers lyrics

Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming Left at the roadside with this rapidly burning map like a magician with no rabbits in his hat Line up the measures to fulfill your brothers dreams across the land we pay in sweat, keepin' up the steam Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming but I know it's just a lie! Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming and you know we're aiming high Put on your makeup, put on your dancing shoes into the wasteland we've all seen you dance away the blues No time for introversions no more time to play Serious distractions always seem to come your way Now you tell me that you can't afford the dreaming but I know it's just a lie! Serious dreamers always can afford the dreaming and you know we're aiming high From the nest we descend in a mist, all like birds on thin ice From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on and turn to the wise And the code that was written in blood & flesh in an ancient time From the kingdom of heaven the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU. Playground Pirates gaze at the Sun far out sisters and flying Nun Poor Pica**o gaze at the art Ahead of time means a Lonely heart War is over, boys are home move into the friendly zone Dream at Diners, dying slowly where hungry hearts grows cold and lonely From the nest we descend in a mist, all like birds on thin ice From the kingdoms of childhood we dream on and turn to the wise And the code that was written in blood & flesh in an ancient time From the kingdom of heaven the ships of dreams were sent to enlighten YOU.
