The sun hangs low in the western sky
And I'm on the street again, with the light in my eyes
I'm hungry as a wolf, and lean as a wire
Got a hum in my head, and my guts are on fire
Baby, you know desire drives you mad
I had my heart broken by every dream I ever had
But you learn to bite and scratch, when your back's against the wall
'Cause worst thing in this life is to have no dream at all
♪
They say God's a trickster and he makes a great noise
Yeah you'll get a reward, if you're good girls and boys
But it never works out, we're always swindled somehow
So if you run into God tell him I'll want mine now
Baby, you know desire drives you mad
I had my heart broken, by every dream I ever had
But you learn to bite and scratch, when your back's against the wall
'Cause the worst thing in this life, is to have no dream at all
♪
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah
Angel on my shoulder tells me to move
She knows there's always something left to prove
I close my eyes, I can see the promised land
It whispers in my ear, and it dances in my hand
Baby, you know desire drives you mad
I had my heart broken, by every dream I ever had
But you learn to bite and scratch, when your back's against the wall
'Cause the worst thing in this life, is to have no dream at all, yeah
Oh, yeah
Uh-yeah
Hmm-yeah, oh-yeah
