lyrics

Just like a mummy, he was king
Now he's just a wrapping of remains
Awoke from the slumber of his death
Obligated by some unpaid debt

Tied back in his regal wicker throne
He slumps in a trouble-weary pose
While better men around him go to work
He reluctantly takes back his turn

He was a man that would sit on a dream

If at last he hears the bell ring
A crystal call that beckons as it sings
It will drag him again to the street
Propped up like a dummy in a seat

He was a man that would sit on a dream

He could rise to meet the clanging blast
Or watch parade marching past
But like a Dreamer he must wait
For the proper time and the proper place

He was a man that would sit on a dream
