Rush - Middletown Dreams Lyrics
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifesonThe office door closed earlyThe hidden bottle came outThe salesman turned to close the blindsA little slow now, a little stoutBut hes still heading down those tracksAny day now for sureAnother day as drab as todayIs more than a man can endureDreams flow across the heartlandFeeding on the firesDreams transport desiresDrive you when youre down --Dreams transport the onesWho need to get out of townThe boy walks with his best friendThrough the fields of early mayThey walk awhile in silenceOne close -- one far awayBut hed be climbing on that busJust him and his guitarTo blaze across the heavensLike a brilliant shooting starThe middle-aged madonnaCalls her neighbour on the phoneDay by day the seasons passAnd leave her life aloneBut shell go walking out that doorOn some bright afternoonTo go and paint big citiesFrom a lonely attic roomIts understoodBy every single personWhod be elsewhere if they couldSo far so goodAnd lifes not unpleasantIn their little neighbourhoodThey dream in middletown...
