Nothing But A Dreamer ?

" put your hands in  your head  oh no"

  Drifting among acceptable notions, incubate the idea of love,  rest in the attractions that entice you to dream.

Your mind filled with color, hues
 of a different shade,   that belongs
 to the fragments of all those
 inclusions that formulate your dream

A motley accumulation of miscellany
An impressive salmagundi you have seasoned blended and stewed

"Can you put your hands in your
head?" make sense of what was
created from a juvenalistic mind
 blend it with an admiration for
hindsight


The substructure the mentation that persuades you to spread your wealth,  your compassion,  into a constellation
a chassis that will drive the dream

It's beautiful, Yet it sits a dream
you decorate your surroundings
 with at times it motivates you
 to press on when the crumbling
begins

Pieces of you slough off littering
 those around you
Who are kind enough to sweep
 up the pieces stuff it back into
your head
Risk of losing your dreamer
 state of mind
Holds you captive
Idleness begets failure
Instigate the notion watch love
develop from its incubated state
You know you are a dreamer


Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said, "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, well you know, you had it comin' to you
Now, there's not a lot I can do
 
Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no
 
I said, "far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!"
You know, well you know, you had it comin' to you
Now, there's not a lot I can do
 
Work it out someday
Oh ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
 
(If I could see something) you can see anything you want, boy
(If I could be someone) you can be anyone, celebrate, boy
 
(If I can do something) you can do something
(If I could do anything) but can you do something out of this world?
 
Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along
Dreamer, dream, and dream along
C'mon and dream, dream along (come along)
(C'mon and dream, dream along)
 
(C'mon and dream, dream along) na na na na na na na na
Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer (c'mon and dream and dream along)
Can you put your hands in your head, oh no! (c'mon and dream and dream along)
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer (c'mon and dream and dream along)
Can you put your hands
