Should be sawing a log when its a quarter to three Tap a tiny little keyboard with an overplayed hand Seein' 'em dream and say "that should have been me" Put the sand in the man or put the man in the sand Sign on the gate said "Dreams not for sale" Ripped the sign down and made a paper plane Gate guard told me I belong in jail I said "Brother, you don't need to explain" I took a page from the Sandman And stuffed it into a bag Load a little bit of magic And a bullet in the mag It ain't much of a living Ain't as fun as it seems Took a page from the Sandman And stole everybody's dreams Crooked windows that shouldn't be lit Peekin' in the mail slot open a slit Burgle in the bushes like a raggedy man Found a hide-a-key hiding in a garbage can Wishes in boxes on dusty old shelves Unfinished dreams kept all to themselves "Ready" next to "Willing" "Eager" next to "Able" Thinkin' I'll look at another table I took a page from the Sandman And stuffed it into a bag Load a little bit of magic And a bullet in the mag It ain't much of a living Ain't as fun as it seems Took a page from the Sandman And stole everybody's dreams Bag full of loot Just a bag full of hype Its a sack full of nothin' And the dreams are all pipe I took a page from the Sandman And stuffed it into a bag Load a little bit of magic And a bullet in the mag It ain't much of a living Ain't as fun as it seems Took a page from the Sandman And stole everybody's dreams
