Pipe Dream

I’m spending my time, on this lyrical line,
Cause’ I feel the vibes, right down to my bones,
Arranging my words, help, throw me a line,
The musicians are here, they are friends of mine.

I'm singing this song sayin’ what comes along,
Our notes fall in place it’s just signature time,
I know what we have, in this band,
Experience youth, lucid, hand in hand.

Now we’ve been searching, for too long,
For a direction, and a music genre,
But we’ve got to have a meaning,
For the pipe dream,
Something to hold on, when times are bad.
But we’ve been holed up, in the backroom,
Yea for too long, it’s making us mad!
So we’re gonna’ make a breakout,
Into the mainstream,
We play the music and keep it live.

And I know we can play it this time,
Cause’ Pipe Dream lives in our minds,
And I think we’ll make it this time!

Now it’s too late, for another reunion,
We’ve run so high and just glimpsed at the stars.
Don’t give me no bullshit, no more excuses
Now’s the right time, to see the world.

And I know we can play it this time,
Cause’ Pipe Dream lives in our minds,
And I think we’ll make it this time!
