Faded thoughts, Wasted dreams, The girl screams, The boy cries for innocents is lost. You dreamed high, But you paid the price. Hollywood wasn't kind, It didn't treat you kind, It didn't find your mark, Now you dig yourself into a hole. Now you pray too much, And you can't get it on straight. Music was your savior, Now it kills your soul. I know whatcha mean, I know how you feel, That's what they all pretend to feel. I know the chips are down. I know the pain is cutting like a knife, But boy you gotta see the light. She told you she could make it all go away, But now you are paying the price. The baby cries, The mother whimpers in pain, And you stand there and cry for all innocents has been lost. Dreams have been shattered, And reality has hit you right in the face. Now cry, Let the chips fall, Cry, And remember, Cry, And then call on an old friend. The chips have fallen, And now you are all alone. It's been too long. You watch as time passes you by, But you never forget the dream that passed you by, The dream that got away, And the chance you had to be Bob Dylan. Keep dreamin' baby cause it's the only thing that will keep you sane.
