Intro: ---


  Won't you take my hand

  Won't you be my friend
                     
  Take my advice, go away
                                
  When the days get short and the chips are down
                            
  Will you be there, will you stick around

And if thou shalt give
Thou shalt be deceived
This traveling band was not well received
No open arms or reception lines
Just handlebars wearing five point stars

                    
  Am I living in your dream
                               
  We got the guns, we got the guns
                                    
  A thousand to one, a thousand to one
                     
He's the man, he's the man
         
He's the man who loved life


Served by different stories
                    
Am I living in your dreams

Pretty metal green
                             
Can I ride upon your wings so free

In the canyon walls there's a trusty lot
The stakes were high
The sun was hot
You can rest assured as casinos rise
Buzz around my ears like the dragonflies

Am I living in your dream
We've got the guns, we've got the guns
A thousand to one, a thousand to one
He's the man, he's the man
He's the man who loved life

Served from different shores
Am I living in your dream
Pretty metal green
Am I living in your dream, so real

Heard a million stories
Am I living in your dream
Pretty metal green
Am I living in your dream
