"Dream Time" lyrics

"Dream Time"

Streets I ran - this whole town -
Backstreets and all - I wanted to leave there
But no matter how fast I ran, my feet were glued, I just couldn't move there
I saw the hate and lots of people
I heard my name called above the noise
I tried to speak but my tongue was tied
Bumped into emptiness and started to cry - oh no

I saw the lights and the pretty girls
And I thought to myself what a pretty world
But there's something else here that puts me off
And I'm so scared dear, my love comes in frozen packs
Bought in a supermarket

Streets I ran, through wind and rain
Around this place amongst streaming sunshine
Scared I was, sweating now
Feeling of doom, my bowels turned to water

I felt hot breath whisper in my ear
I looked for somewhere to hide but everywhere's closed
I shut my eyes pretend not to be here
This feeling's much to real to ever disappear - oh no

I saw the lights and the pretty girls
And I thought to myself what a pretty world

But there's something else here that puts me off
And I'm so scared dear, their hate comes in frozen packs
Bought in a supermarket

Boy, it's a tough tough world
But you've got to be tough with it

And I'm so scared dear -
My love comes in frozen packs
