He was just a young boy
He dreamed he could be someone,
Someone would someone would dream they could be some day
And she was just a little girl
She dreamed that one day she'd be queen of the whole town
And sideways dreaming, it's all I've ever known
It's how I've grown up tired
Now he's a young man
Working hard to break all the rules he learned to play by
Soon, she's a woman
If I could see inside her mind, you know I'd be a wiser man
Sideways dreaming, it's all I've ever known
It's how I've grown up tired
But they still bleed red blood on the streets of the cities
And I might as well mention that they're alone just like you and me
Ooh
