Lyrics

This is the way it always was
Not a lot change round here because
This is the way it’s always been
A dream within a dream within a dream

[v1]
Oh my money it don’t go far
Got to the bottom of the penny jar
Better go pawn my granddad’s watch
Trade it fast for online stocks

Previous metal what’s it worth?
A billion years beneath the Earth
Find it mine it polish it bright
It’ll end up in a landfill site


[v2]
My girl got her PhD
A masters and a first class degree
You outta see how fast she can read
It’s no secret she’s smarter than me

Looking for work but it’s hard to find
They’re saying she’s overqualified
Five months later still on the dole
Prime time TV took its toll
Says she’s gonna be the next Cheryl Cole

This is the way it always was
Not a lot change round here because
This is the way it’s always been
A dream within a dream within a dream

[v3]
I knew a kid in a suicide cult
He survived but it wasn’t his fault
Stayed up late then he overslept
Forgot about the pledge all the others kept

They’re all gone only he remains
A one-way ticket on the astral plane
Now he keeps talking conspiracies
They’re blowing his mind like a summer breeze

[v4]
I got a mystic sister with a crystal ball
Painted nails and a gypsy shawl
Well what are the odds - how’d she guess that?
Burn the witch and drown her cat!

Was she faking or was she for real?
Desperate measures never fail

[Bridge]
Oh the world keeps turning
Gradually I’m learning
Oh she keeps on spinning
No end and no beginning

This is the way it always was
Not a lot change round here because
This is the way it’s always been
A dream within a dream within a dream

Within a dream within a dream
Within a dream within a dream
Within a dream within a dream
