[English]

Come on out of your dreams

And wake up from your reverie

Time is here, don't go to sleep

Streets are running on the brink

They say that we've got nothing

But a dollar for a life of sin

'Cause there's trouble on the way

Oh, there's trouble on the way

Oh, get a dog and pony for a judgment day

Here we are

Running circles, around around around around

When nothing's right, just close your eyes

Close your eyes and you're gone

Dreams (dreams dreams)

D-d-d-d-dreams (oh oh oh)

She's making me high, she's making me high

Dreams (dreams dreams)

D-d-d-d-dreams (oh oh oh)

She's making me high (I wanna get me free)

...

Nothing gonna get me in my world

...

Now can these broken wings free me

About a light-year from reality

If you wanna fall in a dream

You can put the weight right onto me

Here we are

Running circles, around around around around

When nothing's right, just close your eyes

Close your eyes and you're gone

Dreams (dreams dreams)

D-d-d-d-dreams (oh oh oh)

She's making me high, she's making me high

Dreams (dreams dreams)

D-d-d-d-dreams (oh oh oh)

She's making me high, I wanna get me free

...

Nothing gonna get me in my world

...

Nothing gonna get me in my world

...

Ah, stop fucking with my dreams, dreams, yeah

Ah, stop fucking with my dreams, dreams, yeah

Ah

Here we are

Running circles, around around around around

When nothing's right, just close your eyes

Close your eyes and you're gone

Dreams (dreams dreams)

D-d-d-d-dreams (oh oh oh)

She's making me high, she's making me high

Dreams (dreams dreams)

D-d-d-d-dreams (oh oh oh)

All day and all night, I wanna get me free

...

Nothing gonna get me in my world

...

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

(Oh oh oh oh)

(Oh oh oh oh oh)

(Oh oh oh oh)

I wanna get me free

...

Nothing gonna get me in my world

...

Nothing gonna get me in my world

...
