Silly things, like diamond rings
Fall between other things
Like you and I
We used to have a coffee pot
We used it a lot
To sit around and talk about
Everything
We always won, but we will never get
But a dreamer is still a dreamer
Till you wake them up, and sit them down
And explain to them:
The sky is up and the earth is down
Amongst other things, like human beings
They really are what they seem
They lie, cheat, and steal to get ahead of you
And I'm afraid it's true
When the world comes crashing down
What are they to do?
And I'm not blaming you for being naïve
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
About candlelight
Forget about stupid fights
And it's funny to me
I can't remember a single thing that we fought about
Now that I'm alone
But I guess that's how it goes
But I do remember every time that you kissed my neck
Oh, I loved that the best
Won't be getting none of those
Now that I'm (you're) an alley queen
And away from you (me)
But darling, remember please
That people lie, cheat, and steal
To get ahead of you, and I'm afraid it's true
When the world comes crashing down
What are they to do?
And I'm not blaming you for being naïve
But now just close your eyes and start dreaming
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Darling, come get your coffee pot
Cuz it hasn't been used
Since I last used you
