The office door closed early
The hidden bottle came out
The salesman turned to close the blinds
A little slow now, a little stout
But hes still heading down those tracks
Any day now for sure
Another day as drab as today
Is more than a man can endure
Dreams flow across the heartland
Feeding on the fires
Dreams transport desires
Drive you when youre down
Dreams transport the ones who need to get out of town
The boy walks with his best friend
Through the fields of early May
They walk awhile in silence
One close, one far away
But hed be climbing on that bus
Just him and his guitar
To blaze across the heavens
Like a brilliant shooting star
The middle aged Madonna
Calls her neighbor on the phone
Day by day the seasons pass
And leave her life alone
But shell go walking out that door
On some bright afternoon
To go and paint big cities
From a lonely attic room
Its understood
By every single person
Whod be elsewhere if they could
So far so good
And lifes not unpleasant
In their little neighborhood
They dream in Middletown
