I Must Be Dreaming

Venus de Milo gave up the banjo She left the band with the Invisible Man Never had a leg to stand on, stand on Saw Galileo hanging with J-Lo Singing "Life On Mars" out under the stars Lead guitar was Marlon Brando Hey, there's you and me Happy as clams, a little house by the sea How can that be, I must be dreaming It just can't be, I must be dreaming 'Cause you're gone, a long time gone Nikola Tesla on his electric Vespa With Hedy Lamarr down Sunset Boulevard Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, lonely Poor Buddy Holly ain't got nobody Pretty Peggy Sue found somebody new Guess he lost his one and only Hey, there's you and me Baby makes three, a little house by the sea How can that be, I must be dreaming It just can't be, I must be dreaming 'Cause you're gone, a long time gone An ominous sky like in the end of time A murder of crows in a field of roses Fallen angels far from Heaven, Heaven Then came the rain and washed away the pain And the sky turned blue, full of red balloons As the lemon sun was setting Hey, there's you and me Growing old, a little house by the sea How can that be, I must be dreaming It just can't be, I must be dreaming 'Cause you're gone, a long time gone How can that be, I must be dreaming It just can't be, I must be dreaming 'Cause you're gone, a long time gone ©2018.
