For what seems like a lifetime I'm pulling up close to the stop sign again I've been ill informed I'm painting by numbers But I'm coming up roses again Everybody dreaming of a golden age You and I just dreaming of a golden age Everybody dreaming of the great escape We should have made, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late Take a day trip outside Get a motorbike ride Barefoot and walk on the tarmac again Doesn't seem right, that night after night We're sleeping through every sunrise and life Everybody dreaming of a golden age You and I just dreaming of a golden age Everybody dreaming of the great escape We should have made, it's too late, it's too late You don't need this You don't read this This is something I can't deal with Yesterday said Tomorrow's easy I haven't been home For what seems like a lifetime I'm pulling up close to the stop sign again I've been ill informed I'm painting by numbers But I'm coming up roses again Everybody dreaming of a golden age You and I just dreaming of a golden age Everybody dreaming of the great escape We should have made, it's too late Everybody dreaming of a golden age You and I just dreaming of a golden age Everybody dreaming of the great escape We should have made, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late Oh yeah, don't you know the truth baby, it's done |
