Who are you dreaming of now 
 Is she flesh real 
 Or carved in memory 
 Who are you dreaming of now 
 Is she flesh real 
 Or bloodless fantasy 
 From a film heroine 
 There goes Dinnocence fading aAway
 Here comes Dbitterness after you Apay 
 For beDlieving in stories man-Amade 
 Yes, we Dall want to be your next Alover 
 But we Dscared so we're running you Adown 
 Yes, we Dall want to be your next Alover 
 But your Dbeauty's too far above Aground 
 From a film heroine 
 We will Dlaugh at the worst of your Ajokes 
 Steal a kiss if we Dcan, buy you flowers and Agifts 
 Every move is a Dplan, you can measure this Aman 
 By the depths of his Dlies, you can measure this Aman 
 Yes we Dall want to be your next Dlover 
 Yes we Dall want to be your next Dlover 
 We are Ddriven by things you can't Afeel 
 Are we Dstealing or are we the Asteal 
 So we Dlie like a Apriest 
 To slide Dunder and into Ainside 
 Love is Dcruel but love seldom Akind 
 Yes we Dall want to be your next Alover 
 Yes we Dall want to be your next Alover 
 I can Dlie like the best of them 
 AWait with the patience of Dman 
 Seem so understanAding 
 While I'm making my Dplans 
 I'm so full of desAire, I've forgotten your Dname 
 I'm so full of deAsire, I could burst into Dflames 
 I'm so full of deDsire I can't Ahope to contDrol 
 This deDsire that's closer to Apain 
 River Druns where all rivers Ago 
 This deDsire will not be conAtained 
 Yes we Dall want to be your next Alover 
 Yes we Dall want to be your next Alover 
 Lover  Lover I love her 
 Who are you dreaming of now 
 Is she flesh real 
 Or carved in memory

Who are you dreaming of now

Is she flesh real

Or carved in memory

Is she flesh real

Or bloodless fantasy

From a film heroine

There goes innocence fading away

Here comes bitterness after you pay

For believing in stories man-made

But we scared so we're running you down

But your beauty's too far above ground

From a film heroine

Steal a kiss if we can, buy you flowers and gifts

To slide under and into inside

Love is cruel but love seldom kind

I can lie like the best of them

Wait with the patience of man

Seem so understanding

While I'm making my plans

I'm so full of desire, I've forgotten your name

I'm so full of desire, I could burst into flames

D A D

I'm so full of desire I can't hope to control

River runs where all rivers go

This desire will not be contained

Lover Lover I love her

Who are you dreaming of now

Is she flesh real

Or carved in memory
