Peddlin' Dreams Lyrics

Maria Mckee Peddlin' Dreams

You're gonna get hurt
You're using it up just scratching in the dirt
You're gonna get shucked
You starry-eyed little shrimp

For peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams
Peddlin' dreams, like a pimp, peddlin' dreams

You're peddlin' dreams, givin' 'em out like candy
For rotting your teeth, leavin' you stranded
Don't look at the girl with the gold in her cheeks
She's an oasis of places that you'll never see

A pitch for the angel, before we die
A kiss to the strangers who barely get by

There's never a moon when you need the hope
To punch through the night and point the way home
Don't you believe another talking chimp

Is peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams
Peddlin' dreams, like a pimp, peddlin' dreams

Don't look at the girl with the gold in her cheeks
She's peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams
