The Dreamer Lyrics by Montrose

Paper Money

1974

Alone at sea, close my eyes
I slip away, way up in the sky
And I play with the angels with my paper wings
Hook me a chain on the moon
I'll do anything
Day or night
Tell you, I don't care
Anytime, anyplace
Go anywhere, yeah
The Dreamer
Lock me away, yes my body is yours
But baby, you won't never keep me behind closed doors
And you may think I'm crazy
Well, it just maybe your touch
So you just use me, like we all need a crutch
And you've got yours
And I've got mine
I step right behind the moon
Suits me just fine
Paralized, I feel no pain
Silver bullets numb my brain
I look at the future and what lies ahead
The silver bullets have turned to lead
All the more I laugh
All the more I wanna cry
The more I live
The more I'm gonna die, yeah
The Dreamer, yeah
The Dreamer
Dream on
Dream on
Yes, The Dreamer
The Dreamer, yeah
