Liz Phair Sometimes A Dream
(Is What Makes You A Slave) I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week I mean really good, for more than a month 'Cause I'm chasing a dream Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky And sometimes a dream doesn't set you free And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down And you just can't get your ass out of town And sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall And it's the same goddamn thing I told you Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Baby, it's alright Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Baby, it's alright And I think that's what's happened to me 'Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind And I'm searching through my past In a way that isn't healthy, I'm hoping to find Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky A good list of reasons to know that I'm special And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down And you just can't get your ass out of town To know that I'm different, to know that I'm better And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall And it's the same goddamn thing I told you Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Baby, it's alright Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Baby, it's alright Look around Do you see anyone for themselves, like you see yourself? So why do you still feel so all alone? Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish How many pieces do you wish? Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish How many pieces do you wish? My mother told me to pick the very best one And you are it
