Cold War Kids - Dreams Old Men Dream lyrics

rate me

Thought I was layin in a gutter in

Milk cartons and bones

Thought I was standin on a mountain top

Looking over your homes

Thought I was laying in the garden with

My hands deep in soil

Thought I was there on an island

Shooting flares at your boat

Thought I was soothing like a violin

Confessing new rain

Thought I was poppin like a trumpet

Frantic for fame

Thought I was there like a building's built

On concrete and stone

But realized I'm just a hack actor

Finished playing my role

They're in my thoughts

Dreams old men dream

It's just like when we were kids

We figure out what they mean

Just try to listen to what they say

Just trying to listen to what they say

Thought I was riding fror 100 hours

Looking straight into me.

Thought I was reading on the newspaper

Obituaries

Tought i was nervous like a mailman

Reading your letters dear

Thought I was at our anniversary

Toasting 30 years

They're in my thoughts

Dreams old men dream

It's just like when we were kids

We figure out what they mean

Just try to listen to what they say

Just trying to listen to what they say

Push my piano outside

I don't care, I don't care.

Beneath the media black sky

I don't care, I don't care.

The neighbors will complain

Let the stare, let them stare.

Who knows where the time goes,

I don't care, I don't care

What would you think of me if I told you

I haven't slept in weeks

I've been up chasing my childhood memories (?)

These are dreams old men dream
