Whalen: Music

Live Like A Daydream

(Whalen)
Walking half asleep through the sad routine
With worn out hopes of fading dream
And then right on cue A diversion new

Driving fast down an empty road
Leave the sad behind and lighten my load
What else to do Try on another shoe
Visions coming through It’s a welcome view

I want to mix it up once in a while
I want to live dangerous sometimes
But it don’t mean nothin’ its just a gamble of the mind
Oh I want to live like a daydream sometimes

In a corner booth in a small café
I catch a wandering eye wander once my way
And then a smile too Meant for you know who

Then a dirty room in a small hotel
On the side of the road where the clerk won’t tell
What you’ve been up to Or who you knew
Visions coming through It’s a welcome view

I want to mix it up once in a while
I want to live dangerous sometimes
But it don’t mean nothin’ its just a gamble of the mind
Oh I want to live like a daydream sometimes

In an empty room in an apartment small
Playing an old 6 string and singing through the walls
It’s a lonely mood Then a crowd approves

And its standing room in a sweaty club
Scott is counting 4 to a restless hum
And I’m playing tunes To sold out room
Visions coming through It’s a welcome view

I want to mix it up once in a while
I want to live dangerous sometimes
But it don’t mean nothin’ its just a gamble of the mind
Oh I want to live like a daydream sometimes
But it don’t mean nothing I’m a man just killing time
Oh I want to live like a daydream sometimes
