FIRE HYDRANT

I’m sittin’ here waitin’ for my dream to come true
I’m sittin’ here waitin’ for my dream to come true
But even if it doesn’t,
a dream is still a dream and this dream will see me through

People got a funny of talkin’ here,
you gotta watch their lips if you wanna understand
People got a funny of talkin’ here,
you gotta watch their lips if you wanna understand
But while you’re watchin’ their lips
what their hands are busy doin’ is something else again

My grandpa was a farmer, used to go out and plow the field all day
My grandpa was a farmer, used to go out and plow the field all day
Then he’d knock it off and come in for supper,
never once worried that he had nothing to say

There must a thousand ways to cross over to the darker side
There must a thousand ways to cross over to the darker side
Some do it with a runnin’ leap, most do it with a long slow side

He’s patient and he’s affable, he won’t speak ill of you when you’re gone
He’s patient and he’s affable, he won’t speak ill of you when you’re gone
What he can’t cheat you out of now
he’ll be more than happy to steal from you later on

I’ve been let down gently, been let down with a crashing fall
I’ve been let down gently, been let down with a crashing fall
But the worst is when someone asks you what happened
and you gotta say “Oh, nothing at all”

There’s a price you gotta pay for everything,
of that let there be no doubt
There’s a price you gotta pay for everything,
of that let there be no doubt
If you don’t pay going in
you can rest assured you’re gonna pay on the way out

I’m sittin’ here waitin’ for my dream to come true
I’m sittin’ here waitin’ for my dream to come true
Maybe it already as and I don’t know it, maybe I’ve been too long in the stew
