Sh-Boom (Life Could Be A Dream) [with Ruddy Thomas & Dennis Brown]

Sh-Boom (Life Could Be A Dream) - Red Dragon

All the possibilities

Things you can pick up and look beneath

Just watch your step

Don't fall between the blanks in your memories

There's an anchor sinking in the sound

Of a sense of lack that follows you around

Years went by but I know

It don't matter what you think of me

I'm awake, don't let me go back to sleep

Like a fugitive who just quit running

You found out there's no escape

Some mistakes can't be undone

It'll never be like it was

And wishing for it only makes it worse

There's some demons waiting down South

Some kind of confederate ghost that holds me close

Shows me the way to go until I'm sure I'm lost

I built a workshop to find myself

Where I can dig in the corners climbing spider webs

It's a Polaroid cemetery of every look you've ever given me

I'm awake, don't let me go back to sleep

Like a fugitive who just quit running

You found out there's no escape

Some mistakes can't be undone

It'll never be like it was

And wishing for it only makes it worse

Keep on writing to capture a feeling

It's an outline of a real connection

Treat your desires as what they are

Imposter's and a lonely invitation

Some mistakes can't be undone

It'll never be like it was

And wishing for it only makes it worse
