DREAMS FOR SALE

Tangled up in limbo, sendin’ messages of distress
Drop it in the bottle, throw it in the water, Special D. to my address
And this time I won’t lie to you and say that I did my best
As the wind song still calls your name

Down in Paralytic City everybody’s someone’s guest
In dark hotels blinded by the light of too much hope or hopelessness
They’re makin’ love to memories they curse, then finally bless
As the wind song still calls your name

‘Dreams for Sale’ says the sign on the window
‘Body for Hire’ reads the words on the road
To the church where the parking lot sign
says ‘No Free Parking at Any Time’

“We come from different worlds,” she said, “our paths will never meet
We can accept this and move on, or stay and prepare for our defeat
But it won’t be the flames that win this time – no, something more fatal and discreet”
As the wind song still calls your name

‘Dreams for Sale’ says the sign on the window
‘Body for Hire’ reads the words on the road
To the church where the parking lot sign
says ‘No Free Parking at Any Time’

Now they search for explanations like they once sought for the Grail
But you know they’ll never turn around to face the mirror until all else has failed
Till then we’ll just have to contain ourselves while the lumberjacks prevail
And the wind song still calls your name

Oh I’m sorry darling if I seem to clip the wings
Of the plans that we’d agreed upon and the good you’d hoped they’d bring
It’s just a sentimental love I have for all these broken things
But the wind song still calls your name
And the wind song still calls your name
