The Motors Lyrics
"Dreaming Your Life Away"

Crazy seeds of drugged-up borough queens
Are getting me right down, it seems
Peace and love and all that phony stuff
You just don't know what it means

Don't call me mad
With your joint and your fancy hat
You're living in the in-between world
Making out the best you can

S-s-s-s-s-s-s-sweet Lorraine is making with cocaine
It gets her way up high, it seems
Uncle Lou just don't know what to do
So he decides to fake a dream

He takes another tranquilizer
And takes his TV set to bed
For a late-night show romance with the real world
Going on inside his head

Dreaming your life away
Dreaming your life away

Union Jack is gonna send them back
He's got a mania for a white regime
His mind was born inside a uniform
To paralyze old England's dream

Don't call me brother
With your battle and your marching band
Singing "Land of Hope and Glory"
In a nuclear garbage can

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-dreaming your life away
Dreaming your life away

Don't call me mad
With your joint and your fancy hat
You're living in the in-between world
Making out the best you can

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-dreaming your life away
Dreaming your life away

Dreaming your life away
Dreaming your life away
