Beautiful Dreamers

Grant Lee Phillips

And gunning for a miracle

One they can't take away

And found it in a skinny girl

Might have been half his age

And Betty likes to push his buttons

And Marco he lose his cool

And call each other good for nothin'

Yet when the war is through

They crawl out the fire escape

And take sweet time making up



Ooh ooh ooh beautiful dreamers

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful ones

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful dreamers

Ooh ooh ooh



And Carla she's a true romantic

Living her life in verse

And Daniel was her live in love

When everything turned for worse

It could have been a chance relation

Both of them lonely souls

And struggle with the big decisions

And both of them growing old

And now and then they break their vows

To spend these nights alone



Ooh ooh ooh beautiful dreamers

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful ones

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful ones

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful dreamers

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful ones

Ooh ooh ooh



Beautiful dreamers odd ones

All of us trapped in the webs we've spun

Beautiful Venus love love

All of us flying too close to the sun

Close the sun



And honey what of you and I

And how will they tell our story

Maybe like a movie script

Seen through an open doorway

And as the camera pulls away

We could have been anybody



Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful dreamers

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful ones

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful ones

Ooh ooh ooh dreamers

Ooh ooh ooh yeah yeah yeah

Ooh ooh ooh beautiful dreamers

Beautiful ones
