Dream Lyrics - Singles - The Vincent Black Shadow

Blew the dust off a wooden box 

And set it on the piano 

Nasty words came from its mouth 

The bite marks were to follow 

I should have given it away 

Now I never dream 

Wide awake for much too long 

My eyes glued to the table 

Tried to feign authority 

But sadly wasn't able 

And then it threw me to the floor 

I never dream 

They say I'm late by half a century 

He died in 1943 

I can't just leave 

(He smells it when I'm gone) 

So I just take it in my sleep 

The road is going... 

Me: "Ask for her another day" 

The spade's up your sleeve 

There's sweat on your brow 

And I will be damned 

If I let you back into this town 

December 17th, 1955 - Broken 

Seven hours passed on your floor 

Seven hours isn't that long 

Seven hours isn't
