Plastic Dreams

LYRICS
Sitting by the bed

Waiting for the day

Waiting for the change

Waiting for the words

To come my way

But they never do

Clawing through realities

Each day

It becomes more obvious

That things

Never go our way

Things are never

As they seem on all the movie screens

And on black and white TV

We've got high hopes

We lock them in our box of plastic dreams

And throw away the key

Searching for the meaning

Measuring a voice

A memory

On broken tape machine

Rearranging

Paintings on the wall

And force validity to imitate art

Things are never

As they seem on all the movie screens

And on black and white TV

We've got high hopes

We lock them in our box of plastic dreams

And throw away the key

What does it all mean?

The innocence is drained

From life to death

Empty words and phrases

Get us through

To break the mundane

Things are never

As they seem on all the movie screens

And on black and white TV

We've got high hopes

We lock them in our box of plastic dreams

But nothing's ever as it seems

Cause there never was a key

What does it all mean?
