I stood naked in the dark
Waiting to begin a thousand other nights
My heart stood still
It’s too late to be afraid
There had been worse times
There had been close times
Pot times junk times
In that moment my life didn’t fail me
My will is stronger than my flesh
And if it can destroy you it can save you too
Help me out I’m losing time
Help me out I’m losing time
We are dreamers
We are believers
We are dreamers
We are future
You are ignorant of all it takes
For me to stand here
Hate for you drinkers
You talkers
You glass tappers
Sing-alongers
Foot pounders
The eager
The bored
The hip
The square
All those who paid and expect value in return
I gave you a vision once
And you expect me to have it still?
Like a birthmark or a scar
I’m a victim of my past
Help me out I’m losing time
Help me out I’m losing time
We are dreamers
We are believers
We are dreamers
We are future
I am here
I utter my truth in the half dark
In the thronged rooms where everyone’s breath
Tastes of cigarettes and alcohol
Where people leave the day behind them at the door
I stand with you sensation hunters
Impervious to shame or pride
Now I look out
Over a wall of weakness
My pride has nothing left to wound but myself
I’m too old to walk away
Too drunk to make it
Too sick to be afraid
One has to destroy something to create something new
And you are my friend more than anyone
Candy, will you dance with me?
We are dreamers
We are believers
We are dreamers
We are future
