Lyrics

One eye is open, the other eye is shut
 Don't throw anything to me
 I'm in no place, no place to receive
 And I just can't move a thing
 Things are rough down here
 You know it's a little grim
 Whatever you've got to pick me up
 To help me out, I'm in
 I'm down with that
 In my dream I can fly, fly high
 Over the fields and across the sky
 Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
 If you could take me back up there
 I'm down, down with that
 When I escape and close my eyes
 Can't tell you from me
 Sometimes in the dreams I look at myself
 And it's looks so good, what I see
 I'm having a little trouble here
 Could you maybe help me out?
 A little confidence pill you got
 To take away my self-doubt
 I'm down with that
 In my dream I can fly, fly high
 Over the fields and across the sky
 Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
 If you could take me back up there
 I'm down, down with that
 Slow down sun, shake yourself
 Why make your own hell?
 Say what are you doing son?
 I'm just trying to likemyself
 I'd love to help myself
 You know I really, really would
 May your days be bright and well
 In my dream I can fly, fly high
 Over the fields and across the sky
 Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground
 If you could take me back up there
 I'm down, down with that
 -----
 Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill
 Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill
 Well, if I die on top of the hill
 And if I don't make it, you know my baby will
 Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees?
 Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the "Double E"?
 Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea?
 Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me?
 Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
 I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across
 Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss
 Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
