Peddlin' Dreams

You're gonna get hurt

You're using it up just scratching in the dirt

You're gonna get shucked

You starry-eyed little shrimp

For peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams

Peddlin' dreams, like a pimp, peddlin' dreams

You're peddlin' dreams, givin' 'em out like candy

For rotting your teeth, leavin' you stranded

Don't look at the girl with the gold in her cheeks

She's an oasis of places that you'll never see

A pitch for the angel, before we die

A kiss to the strangers who barely get by

There's never a moon when you need the hope

To punch through the night and point the way home

Don't you believe another talking chimp

Is peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams

Peddlin' dreams, like a pimp, peddlin' dreams

Don't look at the girl with the gold in her cheeks

She's peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams, peddlin' dreams
