Joni Mitchell - Dreamland Lyrics
Its a long, long way from canadaA long way from snow chainsDonkey vendors slicing coconutNo parkas to their nameBlack babies covered in baking flourThe cooks got a carnival songWere going to lay down someplace shadyWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandWalter raleigh and chris columbusCome marching out of the wavesAnd claim the beach and all concessionsIn the name of the suntan slaveI wrapped that flag around meLike a dorothy lamour sarongAnd I lay down thinking nationalWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandGoodtime mary and a fortune hunterAll dressed up to follow the drumsMary in a feather hula-hoopMiss fortune with a rose on her big game gunAll saints, all sinners shiningHeed those trumpets all night longPropped up on a samba beatWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandTar baby and the great white wonderTalking over a glass of rumBurning on the insideWith the knowledge of things to comeTheres gambling out on the terraceAnd midnight ramblin on the lawnAs they lead toward temptationWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandIn a plane flying back to winterIn shoes full of tropic sandA lady in a foreign flagOn the arm of her marlboro manThe hawk howls in new york citySix foot drifts on myrtles lawnAs they push the recline buttons downWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandLa, la ...African sand on the trade windsAnd the sun on the amazonAs they push the reline buttons downWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamland
