Lyrics
there's silver dragons - brave knights lost in a cartoon
two red breasted robins in a gun fight at sideways noon
they say there's a boy
sittin on the edge of the moon
fishin for my dreams
there's fairy dust that'll rust an angel's wings down
there's love n trust but not enough to go around
they say there's an arrow headed for my heart
n cupids on the mark
why everybody think my life's a nursery rhyme?
why they wanna sing bout my heartache in a lullaby?
these dreams are feelings that are real they don't lie
why everybody wanna treat my life like story time?
there's wood sprites dark lights n bugs made of june
there's pigs that fly in a rainbow sky
two tons of silver in a teaspoon
they say theres a boy sittin on the edge of the moon
fishin for my dreams
there's one eyed jacks suicide kings waitin to make a break
in da back of a purple cadillac full of diamond rings
and they there's n arrow headed for my heart' of all things
(2x)
why everybody think my life's a nursery rhyme?
why they wanna sing bout my heartache in a lullaby?
these dreams are feelings that are real they don't lie
why everybody wanna treat my life like story time?
