lyrics

MIDWAY DREAM CAFÉ
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

I met a man
Said he had been to the gathering of the flock
And he lived off the land
And that his mission in this life was just to rock
He was eighteen
Living a dream
Soon to be awoken
In the jungle of the broken hearted

Another night between dreams and reality
Another story I’ll be told, another life to unfold
At the Midway Dream Café

Sally likes to croon
She likes to sing it with the band just for fun
She may not stay in tune
But she has practiced all week for her moment in the sun
She sings her song
Nothing is wrong
Tomorrow will not come
And yesterday is gone

Another night between dreams and reality
Another story I’ll be told, another life to unfold
At the Midway Dream Café

If I see another sad face looking up at me
I may have to leave this sad place, woudn’t you agree?
I can’t look them in the eye as I am floating trough their dream

Another night between dreams and reality
Another story I’ll be told, another life to unfold
At the Midway Dream Café
