Once Upon A Dream

(album: The Lost Recordings - 1983)

Once upon a dream
A life that seemed worthwhile
A smile that made me smile
You wore on your face

Once upon a dream
A baby screamed
And breathed its first breath of life
The baby you bore by him

Once upon a nightmare
I stood frozen at lunchtime
Stranded in an oil refinery
Within an inch of my senses
And I heard the news
Marriage for Laurie

Once upon a dream
I saw you at the Dairy Queen
You looked like a black and white cardboard cutout
Of the Mona Lisa
Collaged on a Frito-Lay advertisement

Once upon a dream
Once upon a dream
Once upon a dream
Ah ah-nce upon a dream
Once upon a dream
Once upon a dream
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da
La-da-da, la-da-da
