The Dream's Lost on Me (Ashby/Harry/Stein)

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tijuana, like a dose of Bella Donna
I could cry but I don't wanna and the dream's lost on me

I come out shooting when trouble comes knocking
I greet bad news by sending it walking
Happy or just crazy, relaxed or lazy
Gonna keep my vision hazy and the dream's lost on me

Cares are all buckshot and buffalo
Every dark has an afterglow
I'm not afraid of what's down below
I keep my sights on the sky

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tijuana, like a dose of Bella Donna
I could cry but I don't wanna and the dream's lost on me

I come out shooting when trouble comes knocking
I greet bad news by sending it walking
Happy or just crazy, relaxed or lazy
Gonna keep my vision hazy and the dream's lost on me
