lyrics

The Stuff As Dreams Are Made On 4:54

It's written in the streetcars with an arrow through the heart
It's sculpted in the benches of every grey schoolyard
It's heating up the houses on this shivering rainy night
It's sitting by the cradle waiting for the morning light

It's in the painter's brushes
It's in the poet's head
It's the stuff as dreams are made on
But I can't find my way back to bed

They make it on the staircase, they make it in the park
They make it underneath a tree and then carve it in the bark
It's in all of the papers under marriages and suicides
It circles all around us with the winds and with the tides

They fell it and misspell it
They sell it but it can't be sold
It's the stuff as dreams are made on
But lately my sheets are so darn cold

It's laughing at the lampposts
Crying in the kitchen
Dying at the diner
Walking on the water
Squinting at the summer
Warming up the winter
Entering a hundred hearts
Leaving a thousand splinters

They taste in and they waste it
They paste it up with candle-wax
It's the stuff as dreams are made on
But what about us insomniacs?
