River City Rebels - What's In A Dream lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

what's in a dream when your life is over

what happens after that?

what's in a life when your dreams take over

and you can't get better than what you got?

when all the premonitions in the back of your head are in the forefront now

you just play dead

when all the apparitions of a broken past appear

you take what's left and you walk on home

i never had the things in life that make a man feel strong

only the possession of a passion for the song

once i give away my rock n' roll

i'll be spending day and night asking for another soul

[Repeat chorus]

i never thought that anyone could ever understand

only knew my salvation was playing in a band

once i give away my rock n' roll

i'll be crying day and night until my final fall

[Repeat chorus]

i traded everything the day the music died

now i'll do anything to get it back inside

i've lived a million different worlds away from here

now every song that's sung reminds me of that fear

[Repeat chorus]

i'm a rebel in this world of kings and queens

i've got my small town pride and my big city dreams

but as i'm looking out the window at the river city

i dont know what's to come

but it sure sounds pretty to me
