Barstools And Dreamers Lyrics

(This transcription lies heavily in my interpretation of the song - the

lyrics in many parts are unclear, but my words sound right... see what you

come up with, let me know!)

(I'd also like to say that this was the overall hardest song to do - not only

because it's long, but also because there's so many puns and hard words to

understand completely - great tune with great poetry, though!)

The barstool's built for dreamers

Will fit fine, and find

All those in the world whose dreams have died

But tonight they're only taking thirsty people

Who've been pulling on their drinks

From a glass lies appaling quiet

And in the drink there swim the swimmers

And those who swims have dried

You take another look

Take another poll

Take another pull

Before you take a ride

Heir to an open barstool

Right there just wanna marry the fool

Mary sees the bartender's needs

And she sets in a bottle that she was born to be

I say that's cool

Just right - right for a fool

Thinking whiskey, she bought me a drink

I won't cross a word of what the lady thinks

Pray I don't cross what the lady thinks

No, she's been thinking out too loud, though

This time I can't hear the pinball machine

And there's a birdman playing tired sideway bongo

Pulling all those words down, down, down

Look at how the numbers grow

In the glass there rolls the iron ball

And the quarter states the toll, that's all

You take another look

Take another poll

Take another pull

Before you take a chance

Look at your hands

They're just ripe for a new kind of dance

Just forget what you're body's just done

And ride on the waves that the tounge's pressed on

Like as small as babies do

You know the little move on - babies do

If there's some food that the moon feeds on

Pray it won't hold it back - it won't hold it back

Baby doesn't know what I just said

Baby doesn't know the words that I just used

Babies haven't learned any words yet

Babies haven't even used giant words yet

People only think

People only talk

People only think in words they already know

Babies haven't learned any words yet

They know what people feel

They don't really care what the people think

They only care what the people feel

Music only knows what the people feel

Babies only care what the people feel

Feel
