Barbecue in thousand oaks Couldn't go, couldn't face the folks Tired of being the butt of jokes I'll stay home and dream Burned my bridges on the phone It doesn't ring since I came home Never been so on my own I think it's time to dream Healing power like holy water Held the kiss of the rich man's daughter Pretty lights, they tilt and swirl Silent as a pictured girl Who saw the light and stole your world She took it for her dream
