lyrics

Little and spiky and round,
feet touching base, got my nose to the ground,
Cross all the roads to the sound,
Cars that go fast, I get scared I won’t last, I’m aghast, I’m not having a blast,
A bore to which I am bound.

In my dreams I’m flying, high up in the sky and
Down below me, people walking by but
I wasn’t made to fly
I wasn’t made to fly

Black is the tarmac of night,
Petroleum void, maybe not quite,
Curb seems so far, left and right,
Should I move on, is my time gone, my life done, my light has it shone ?
Petrified, frozen in fright.

In my dreams I’m flying ...

Crossing the river of Styx,
One ten ton truck, one ball of pricks,
Needs more a Nightingale fix,
His line was flat, there was no caveat, that was that, there was no coming back,
whatever the pain that inflicts.

In my dreams I’m flying ...

Travelling on, field to town,
Never look back, never look down,
living today, not a frown,
Highway at night, dancing the light, red and white, what a beautiful sight
Nature ‘s clown wearing his crown.

In my dreams I’m flying ...

Little and spiky and round,
feet touching base, got my nose to the ground,
Cross all the roads to the sound,
Cars that go fast, I get scared I won’t last, I’m aghast, I’m not having a blast,
A bore to which I am bound.

In my dreams I’m flying ...

Two years later, while setting up a new show for the Musée Calbet, near Toulouse, Maxwell Farrington joined DMC to write some new songs about flying hedgehogs and more. ... more
