Pipe Dreams

I read it all, every word
But I still don't understand a thing
What had you heard?
What had you heard wasn't love
Was to take another walk in the dark
You never learn

I'd pray to God if there was heaven
But heaven seems so very far from here
And it all boils down to the same old thing
Just the yin and yang of a couple of pipe dreams
And it all boils down to the same old pain
Whether you win or you lose isn't going to change a single thing

I stood in line and I thought
Crossed my mind I had been dreaming
I didn't mind
I signed the line every word
And the woman who tried threw me
She didn't smile
