a dream away

five in the mornin,' all alone in your room
door locked tight, private moon
no faces to face, no one to blame
nonexistent inside this frame

(?) take it on the run
oo, yeah take it on the run
uh yeah

there's a cheetah walkin' high
liquid whispers, dragonfly
charleston booties on painted toes
drop the knot ivory soul

(?) take it on the run
oo yeah, take it on the run
oo yeah, take it on the run
because the good life is just a dream away
I said the good life is just a dream awaaaay

choke emotion, all lose control
chicken encounters fill your bowls
the lonely crowd is decomposed
lost obsession, future froze

well, take it on the run
oo yeah, take it on the run
oo yeah, take it on the run
take it on the run
take it on the run
take it on the run
take it
cause the good life is just a dream away
yeah, oo the good good life is just a dream away
oo, oh well the good good good good life is just a dream away
just a dream
just a dream
just a dream, dream away
(?) the good good good good life
the good life is just a dream away
just a dream
just a dream
dream away
