the dream is ...


                  the dream is ...
                  the wheels are broken
                 everytime
                  i try to ride or steer
                   the handle
                    drags.
                 paint's chipped
                  metal's rusted
                  axle's twisted
                 noone wants to push my wagon
                   anymore
                 the crowd has all gone home.
                  this dream is ...
                  the prince won't play his part... 
                 even
                  the stand-in
                 doesn't know his lines.
   
                 it's opening night
                     and
                 only i am dressed
                 it's opening night
                     and
                 the cast are still rehearsing
                 ...last tear's rag.
                 noone wants to share my wagon
                   anymore
                 the crowd has all gone home.
                 my dream is ...
                  one hand is clapping
                   senselessly
                  against the wind,
                  one hand is searching
                   frantically
                    inside the jar.
                 one hand no face one hand
                  the cookie's eaten.
                 noone wants to pull my wagon
                   anymore
                 the crowd has all
                    gone
                     home.
                 noone wants to
                   anymore
                  they've all gone  home.
