Dreams schemes and everythings

Fill the dusty corners of your mind

As cars, boats and aeroplanes

Just remind you of a better time

As love's hopes and everyone's

And anyone worth a minute of your time

When unhampered by the agents

Of the governors of the faceless so opaque

As bare tree's and winter winds

Just confine you to a bitter place

A time you can't face

A peace in your mind

We should be playing in the sunshine

Happy to be part of everything

Not to handle the greedy handlers

Brought down and destroyed through their own ways

Oh, liars, liars, smoking on pipes

Dimwit fires, you just throw it on their way

And how's your father today

Was he caught in the rain ? Waiting on a bed

Putting up with the pain

Your three wishes expire

If you're back in the fire

Lock the genie in the shed and put a pistol to his head

Not handcuffed to some wanker who doesn't know me

And doesn't know that our lives are made

And all the efforts of the masses

And all the people who deserve a better fate

Than a time you can't trace

No peace in your mind

A time you can't face

And now you're back in the race

Your three wishes expired

And now you're back in the fire

See you just can't play

But not without a say

Always got to be the man

Always got to have the plan

It doesn't run that way

Into the ether you'll say

Your three wishes expired

And now you're back in the fire

Your three wishes expired

And now you're back in the fire
