Get Out Of My Dream

Words and Music by The Coyote  

Seemed like everything was going fine
I found a movie camera and considered it mine
It seemed like people were ready for what I needed to do
I didn't pinch myself, I didn't want to

My world was moving quickly
At just the right speed
A contentment uncommon
I had everthing I need

Then I walked down a city street
And looked in a shiny window
You smiled as if you'd missed me
I felt that same old glow

Don't come back, into my life
I've a daughter and a wife
You never were what you seem
Get out of my dream

Just as if you'd never left
I felt the feelings rise
You looked as good as always
In a puppy's eyes

It seemed as if the new life
Had all suddenly died
When I explained the rules for us
You explained, you really tried

Don't come back, into my life
I've a daughter and a wife
You never were what you seem
Get out of my dream

My bubble popped
The dream was flooded
I knew it all was wrong
I felt the love, the tragedy

I was back in a sad love song

My heart, my body, and my mind
Me, they did betray
What started out as a great dream
Had all been blown away
