What the Dream Turned Into!
I was walkin' fast on the platform
The Shuttle was takin' off!
I cursed, "oh, dam! I should never take
the Local...1..
Express is either #2 or #3
Down this line the B.M.T.
Suddenly, I look ahead and I see someone
You'd never get to see!
It was a phony rockstar with a guitar on his back
He looked like he's famous
It just looks like it...might be Jon BonJovie!
I had my winter coat on
It wasn't early fall up north...New York City
And the Hudson River...the water is So and So
freezing, and it blows into your face!
Always sniffin' a cold or a cough!
Next thing I know,
I'm up at college...I had chores earlier...
had to do
My aunt once told me, "fait complait"!
And then do whatever you wanna do!
Well, I went up to my dormatory, and I
Put on my man's teeshirt.
Yellow lettering all around...
And my boyfriend said "Wow! That's cool!"
He took me for Chinese dinner,
And he took me to mom and dad's old home-
Someone was playin' piano
And I did the dishes...to dry in the rack!
We went downstairs to my old room,
Teenage place to B.E.
I played "Fire and Rain" for him,
On a practice guitar my sister taught me...
The teevee got static and those crazy wavelength
Lines, you know?
I said, "Okay....if I get up to go to work,
But I can't B.E. there 'til ten A.M.
So what? I missed it "on the dot"-
.....and he kissed my cheek and said,
"See ya', doll!"
