Dreamland

from Americayana by Aaron Rester

/

lyrics

Dreams are just smoke
and when there’s smoke there’s fire
and Dreamland is burning tonight

where the electric lights danced
like sparks on a wire
Dreamland is burning tonight

on the edge of a beach
on the edge of the world
Dreamland is burning tonight

where the Alligator Boy
loved a Lilliputian girl
Dreamland is burning tonight

it’s hard to sleep with a fever
your dreams get all twisted and bright
and waking up just never feels right
and Dreamland is burning tonight

Sober Sir Ed
never did smile
and Dreamland is burning tonight

But he loved his wife so
he wed her ashes when she died
Dreamland is burning tonight

There goes One-Armed Captain Jack
attacked by his cats
Dreamland is burning tonight

You can’t close some gates
once they’re open wide
Dreamland is burning tonight

You could shoot-the-chutes from great heights
and the boxes of babies, such a sight
and the city of white shone so bright
but Dreamland is burning tonight
