Extreme Makeover
Yesterday I bought a dream
a little worn out at the seams
I got it from the Goodwill store
someone left it by the door
I threw it on the sofa bed
to make a cushion for my head
to fluff my fantasies tonight
and make the endings
come out right
I've furnished every room
this way
I find a little every day
A hope,a dream ,a true belief
I always pay
I'm not a thief
I know it's not a surefire cure
but I need mental furniture
you see I lost mine in a flood
a Holocaust of breath and blood
so that's why I need everything
a wish,a prayer,the thoughts of spring
I hate this emptiness within
let's move this bus and start again!
