Prisoner of a Dream |
On the beach, writing in the sand |
She’s a throwaway from the promised land |
All she owns is on her back |
She carries everything in a little papersack |
She writes her story in the sand each day |
The tide rolls in to wash it all away, wash it all away |
She’s trying to tell us how sad it seems |
To spend your life a prisoner of a dream |
She' s very fragile and she lost her mind |
Her life is precious, but the world is so unkind, it’s so unkind |
Her eyes are empty as she madly writes |
She starts in the morning, she goes till late at night |
Late at night |
She writes her story in the sand each day |
The tide rolls in to wash it all away |
She’s trying to tell us how sad it seems |
To spend your life a prisoner of a dream |
She’s a prisoner |
She understands there’s no way out |
She can’t figure what the dream is all about |
What’s it all about? |
She does her sleepîng out on the street |
She burns a little money, wraps rags around her feet |
Rags around her feet |
She writes her story in the sand each day |
The tide rolls in to wash it all away |
She’s trying to tell us how sad it seems |
To live your life a prisoner of a dream |
YOu know she’s just a prisoner, she’s a prisoner |
All alone each and every day |
It’s a land of plenty, but she’s got nowhere to stay |
She’s got nowhere to stay |
The streets and alleys is where she lives |
'Cause the land of plenty, it got no more to give |
Got no more to give |
A cardboard box gonna be her bed |
The sky’s the only roof above her head |
The streets are teaching her what it means |
To be a prisoner of the American dream |
She’s a prisoner, she’s a prisoner, she’s a prisoner |
She’s a prisoner, just a prisoner. |
She’s a prisoner |
