Cold War Kids Follow

Thought I was layin in a gutter in
Milk cartons and bones
Thought I was standin on a mountain top
Looking over your homes
Thought I was laying in the garden with
My hands deep in soil
Thought I was there on an island
Shooting flares at your boat

Thought I was soothing like a violin
Confessing new rain
Thought I was poppin like a trumpet
Frantic for fame
Thought I was there like a building's built
On concrete and stone
But realized I'm just a hack actor
Finished playing my role

They're in my thoughts
Dreams old men dream
It's just like when we were kids
We figure out what they mean
Just try to listen to what they say
Just trying to listen to what they say

Thought I was riding fror 100 hours
Looking straight into me.
Thought I was reading on the newspaper
Obituaries
Tought i was nervous like a mailman
Reading your letters dear
Thought I was at our anniversary
Toasting 30 years

They're in my thoughts
Dreams old men dream
It's just like when we were kids
We figure out what they mean
Just try to listen to what they say
Just trying to listen to what they say

Push my piano outside
I don't care, I don't care.
Beneath the media black sky
I don't care, I don't care.
The neighbors will complain
Let the stare, let them stare.
Who knows where the time goes,
I don't care, I don't care

What would you think of me if I told you
I haven't slept in weeks
I've been up chasing my childhood memories (?)
These are dreams old men dream
