Lyrics Dream Operator - Talking Heads, Jerry Harrison

Dream Operator

When you were little
You dreamed you were big
You must have been something
A real tiny kid
You wish you were me I wish I was you
Now don’t you wake up The dream will come true
Every dream has a name
And names tell your story
This song is your dream
You’re the dream operator
It’s bigger than life
You know it’s all me My face is a book
But it’s not what it seems
Three angels above
The whole human race
They dream us to life
They dream me a face
And every dream tells it all
And this dream is your story
You dreamed me a heart
You’re the dream operator
Shake-it-up dream
Hi-di-ho dream
Fix-it-up dream
Look at me dream
I’ve been waiting so long
Now I am your dream
Hard to forget
Hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You’re out on your own
Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
Where we’ll understand
And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You’re the dream operator
And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You’re the dream operator
