All the lights are green
on Franklin Street
when I drove home last night
And every four -way stop
that I approached,
hey, I was on the right
And when I drove past your house again,
hey, like I always do
I thought about the one thing in my life
that didn't come true
And it was you, it was you,
who said the dreams come true
And it was you, it was you,
who said that mine would too
And it was you who said that
all I had to do was to believe
But when your ivory towers tumble down,
they tumble down on me
Well, I turned into the driveway,
through the gates and pass along
And I sat and stared into the dark
before I shut it off
And she met me at the door
and pressed her face into my shirt
And as awful as it sounds,
I wished it wasn't her
But it was you, it was you,
who said the dreams come true
And it was you, it was you,
who said the mind would too
And it was you who said that
all I had to do was to believe
When your ivory towers tumble down,
they tumble down on me
I still wish on every shooting star
that streaks across the sky
And at every four -leaf clover,
hey, I still close my eyes
And at every church steeple,
I still whisper a prayer
when I open up my eyes
hey darling you're not there and it was you
it was you who said
the dreams come true
and it was you
it was you who said the mind would too
and it was you who said that
all I had to do was to be
lieve when
When your ivory towers tumble down,
they tumble down on me.
applause
applause
white trash speak for yourself buddy
I've been heckled before laughter
Oh, it's just Novelty
Night at the Old Tin Angel,
isn't it? You labor over
all these songs
endlessly
your whole childhood.
You live this entire life
so somebody can scream out, big hair!
You
