Lyrics
Across the river Where the smoke don't go Where the people write their autobiographical science fiction stories I feel --- like --- looking thru the gap To see your American zoetrope starin' right back (into space) And a man walks up to me; his black face faded grey He says he'd like to learn to fly But instead he pulls me close; whispers what he knows This is the land of broken dreams Along the fenceposts That surround the park Hang the clothing and the memories of the lost Like a rose shaped mosaic with crack down both sides To the guitar man who can barely deride As they both look up and see a different sky And a man walks up to me; his black face faded grey He says he'd like to learn to fly But instead he pulls me close; whispers what he knows This is the land of broken dreams Tell Me what to think, tell me what to say As blue flashing lights appear Towards the paper trail, Towards the vapor trail And a man walks up to me; his black face faded grey He says he'd like to learn to fly But instead he pulls me close; whispers what he knows This is the land of broken dreams This is the land of broken dreams This is the land of broken dreams Tell Me what to think, tell me what to say As blue flashing lights appear Towards the paper trail, Towards the vapor trail
