The Leaving Dream Lyrics

    Every time she thinks about leaving that night she has the
    Same dream
    And it goes like this:

    She's walking across the river
    She's walking across the street
    Looking down she starts to shiver
    Looking down she has no feet.
    The irs is in hot pursuit
    Disguised as grandmother
    She tried too hard to hide all the loot
    By giving it away to somebody or other
    Who works in a skyscraper
    Where there's a receptionist at the door
    But she doesn't have the right piece of paper
    And her pants aren't on anymore.
    Suddenly she's sitting on the toilet
    Right there in plain view of the man
    As usual she had to go and spoil it
    Just when everything was going according to plan.
    Then the bus came by and she missed it
    So it came by again and she missed it again
    The third time it came by she kissed it
    Which put her in the arms of her ex-boyfriend
    Who was alive again, he was alive!
    And she no longer grieving
    But she throws off his embrace and runs from the scene.
