An d I had a bad thought.
Cm
I thought, what if I see a wreck?
What if there's people out there?
What am I going to say to them?
And that made me start thinking,
how the hell do I explain the
whole thing to them?
Because lots of this
is very hard to make sense of,
Ab

you know.

They lie in the house and the senate, too

And I would just like to be able
Cm
Without the light in those eyes
Cm

dream, dream, dream for him
Ab
I want a dream for him
