C5She came down the stairs in her G5cocktail D5dress
She C5fell on her food like a G5lionD5ess
There was C5ringing in my ears like an G5S O D5S
She said "You Emdream Ctoo Dmuch Emif you Cthink I've a Fthing for Dyou.
You Emdream Ctoo Dmuch. It's going to end Abad"
The boom box was sounding sweet
We were dancing to a jungle beat
Just when our lips were about to meet
She said "You dream too much. Who's that girl in your dreams with you?
You dream too much. It's going to end bad"
EYou'll stumble going through life the way that yGou do
EI hope I'm somewhere else the day that Gyou do
The A7way that you do
She had a chassis like an XJS
A skull necklace like a high priestess
I thought maybe just one caress
She said "You dream too much. You're dreaming now while I'm talking to you.
You dream too much. It's going to end bad. Oh it's going to end bad"
All my life I've been like this
I start thinking of the perfect kiss
Velvet dream on an iron fist
She said "You dream too much. Even this isn't really true.
You Emdream Ctoo Dmuch. It's going to end Abad. Oh it's going to end Gbad.
Ah it's going to end Bmbad. It's going to end Gbad"
