Gray clouds cover our metropolis
If I could stop all this I surely would
But maybe this is god calling on us
But I don’t see how this does any good
Dazed in a private garden
Hammock’s swinging, headphones on that’s
Playing some old gypsy song
Daydreaming away
I’m beginning to think that all of this
Is just a story twisted for amusement?
Possibly fate’s not without irony
And this is a time to for me to be in pain
Playing on a public stage
My eyes closed before a microphone
I might has well be all alone
Daydreaming away
I can’t ignore this; it’s not simply refuse
Won’t fight – there’s just no use
So I will daydream
