Dancing in a Daydream
Roses & Revolutions Lyrics

I get up in the evening
I wake up late in the day

And I ain't got nothing to say
I don't have anything to talk about

I come home in the morning
I return home early in the morning

I go to bed feeling the same way
I feel the same as I did before going to bed

I ain't nothing but tired
I'm just exhausted

Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
I'm bored of my own existence

Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
I could use some assistance

You can't start a fire
A situation can't change without a catalyst

You can't start a fire without a spark
A situation needs a small change to trigger a bigger change

This gun's for hire
I can be the catalyst for the change

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're not sure what we're doing

Message keeps getting clearer
The meaning becomes more obvious

Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I'm dancing to the music playing on the radio

I check my look in the mirror
I examine my appearance in the mirror

I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
I want to alter my physical appearance

Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm not making progress

I'm just living in a dump like this
I'm just existing in an unpleasant environment

There's something happening somewhere
There is something going on somewhere else

Baby, I just know that there is
I have a strong feeling that something is happening

You sit around getting older
Time is passing and nothing is changing

There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I am the subject of the joke

I'll shake this world off my shoulders
I will free myself from my burdens

Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
I'll laugh at myself

Stay on the streets of this town
If you stay in one place for too long

And they'll be carving you up all right
You'll be criticized by others

They say you gotta stay hungry
They say you have to stay determined

Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm really hungry for success

I'm dying for some action
I'm desperate for something to happen

I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I'm tired of not making progress on my projects

I need a love reaction
I need a reaction from someone I desire

Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
I just want some attention

You can't start a fire
A situation can't change without a catalyst

Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
Wallowing in sadness over a lost love

Worrying about your little world falling apart
Fearing that your life is coming undone

This gun's for hire
I can be the catalyst for change

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we don't know what we're doing

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we don't know what we're doing

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we don't know what we're doing

Hey, baby
A term of endearment
