[Background singers: "He's a terrible terrible terrible breaker of hearts)]

[Female Punk raw Voice]
And so your mere name made me tremble, And I thought that you must resemble, A blue-red ferocious, atrocious to see, Who stole little girls and would not steal me.
(You'll not steal me, no no)

[Male Voice]
I hope I am not what you thought to be, What my reputation has brought to me. I’ve met many girls, as you say I have done, But I’ve found in each case she was not the right one. And so I would turn to another, To meet with the same old mother. But you are the one I have wanted to find, And yours is the face I have had in mind. That sort of picture only lies, Within the mind and not the eyes. The hazy image that one sees, in solitary reveries

[Male and Female Voices]
Daydreams, Visions of bliss, Dear as the hopes of childhood, Bright as a sunbeam and brief as a kiss, Lost in the wakening wildwood. 
Daydreams, moments divine, When all so radiant seems, That is the land where the stars ever shine, Deep in those dear daydreams.

[Male Voice]
Your fame as a Juliet charming, Was simply alluring, alarming, I heard how you captured the hearts of all men, How none of them ever could win you and then, I just couldn’t rest, till I found you, And see why they hovered around you, And see were you really so artful a one, Who conquered all hearts and surrendered to none.

[Female Voice]
I hope I am all you expected, You see I’ve been somewhat neglected. ’Tis true I’ve declined all the men I could find, But you see I have never yet found the right kind,
And so I should hardly be censured, Because I have never yet ventured, To yield a love that did not strike me real, When I had in mind my own ideal. The sort of one that only lies Within the mind and not the eyes, the hazy image that one sees
In solitary reveries

[CHORUS]
Daydreams, Visions of bliss, Dear as the hopes of childhood, Bright as a sunbeam and brief as a kiss, Lost in the wakening wildwood. 
Daydreams, moments divine, When all so radiant seems, That is the land where the stars ever shine, Dee
(Daydreams)
Ohhhhhhh!
Daydreams, Visions of bliss, Dear as the hopes of childhood, Bright as a sunbeam and brief as a kiss, Lost in the wakening wildwood. 
Daydreams, moments divine, When all so radiant seems, That is the land where the stars ever shine, Deep in those dear daydreams.

[CHORUS]
Daydreams, Visions of bliss, Dear as the hopes of childhood, Bright as a sunbeam and brief as a kiss, Lost in the wakening wildwood. 
Daydreams, Visions of bliss,
Daydreams, daydreams

[Female Voice] Your fame as a room you stole through, Made me very anxious to know you, The gossips spread quickly to various folks, With tales of this terrible breaker of hearts. ( oh ohh, look out! that one's a terrible breaker of hearts) [Background singers: "He's a terrible terrible terrible breaker of hearts)] [Female Punk raw Voice] And so your mere name made me tremble, And I thought that you must resemble, A blue-red ferocious, atrocious to see, Who stole little girls and would not steal me.
