"Dreams Tonite"
(Alec O'Hanley / Molly Rankin)

Rode here on the bus, now you're one of us
It was magic hour
Counting motorbikes on the turnpike
One of Eisenhower's

[Pre-Chorus:]
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?

[Chorus:]
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

On a weird guitar
Said you wrote a while
In the waking hour
In fluorescent light
Antisocialites
Watch a wilting flower

[Pre-Chorus:]
Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?

[Chorus:]
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
Tonight?
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
Tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
Tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything

[Bridge:]
Don't sit by the phone for me
Wait at home for me, all alone for me
Your face was supposed to be hanging over me like a rosary
So morose for me; seeing ghosts of me
Writing oaths to me, is it so naive to wonder...

[Chorus:]
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
Tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
Tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
Tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
Tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
