[Verse 1]

Rode here on the bus

Now you're one of us

It was magic hour

Counting motorbikes on the turnpike

One of Eisenhower's



[Pre-Chorus 1]

Live your life on a merry-go-round

Who starts a fire just to let it go out?



[Chorus]

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?



[Verse 2]

On the lead guitar

Said you'd go to work

In the waking hour

In fluorescent light

Antisocialites watch a wilting flower



[Pre-Chorus 2]

Live your life on a merry-go-round

Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?

 



[Chorus]

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?



[Bridge]

Don't sit by the phone for me

Wait at home for me, all alone for me

Your face was supposed to be hanging over me like a rosary

So morose for me; seeing ghosts of me; writing oaths to me

Is it so naive to wonder...



[Chorus]

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
