You Dream Too Much by Richard Thompson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She came down the stairs in her cocktail dress
She fell on her food like a lioness
There was ringing in my ears like an SOS

[Chorus]
She said, you dream too much
If you think I've a thing for you
You dream too much, it's going to end bad

[Verse 2]
The boom box was sounding sweet
We were dancing to a jungle beat
Just when our lips were about to meet

[Chorus]
She said, you dream too much
Ah, who's that girl in your dreams with you?
You dream too much, it's going to end bad

[Bridge]
You'll stumble going through life the way that you do
I hope I'm somewhere else the day that you do
The way that you do...
[Verse 3]
She had a chassis like an XJS
A skull necklace like a high priestess
I thought maybe just one caress

[Chorus]
She said, you dream too much
You're dreaming now while I'm talking to you
You dream too much, it's going to end bad
Oh, it's going to end bad (Oh)

[Verse 4]
All my life I've been like this
I start thinking of the perfect kiss
A velvet dream on an iron fist

[Chorus]
She said, you dream too much
Even this isn't really true
You dream too much, it's going to end bad
Oh, it's going to end bad
Ah, it's going to end bad
It's going to end bad
