Roches - The Leaving Dream lyrics

rate me

Every time she thinks about leaving that night she has the<br />

Same dream<br />

And it goes like this:<br />

<br />

She's walking across the river<br />

She's walking across the street<br />

Looking down she starts to shiver<br />

Looking down she has no feet.<br />

The IRS is in hot pursuit<br />

Disguised as grandmother<br />

She tried too hard to hide all the loot<br />

By giving it away to somebody or other<br />

Who works in a skyscraper<br />

Where there's a receptionist at the door<br />

But she doesn't have the right piece of paper<br />

And her pants aren't on anymore.<br />

Suddenly she's sitting on the toilet<br />

Right there in plain view of the man<br />

As usual she had to go and spoil it<br />

Just when everything was going according to plan.<br />

Then the bus came by and she missed it<br />

So it came by again and she missed it again<br />

The third time it came by she kissed it<br />

Which put her in the arms of her ex-boyfriend<br />

Who was alive again, he was alive!<br />

And she no longer grieving<br />

But she throws off his embrace and runs from the scene.
