Lyrics

   All your dreams are over now
   And all your wings have fallen down
   Oh all your dreams are over now
   And all your wings have fallen down
   She's just like you
   So why keep doing what you do
   Why cut a friend
   Why cruise that mean lean to an end
   You could have heel toed
   To another place
   You could have peeled slow
   To a better face
   
   But your heart can't grieve 
   For your little dreams
   Oh no your heart can't grieve
   Not for your little dreams
   
   All your dreams are over now
   And all your wings have fallen down
   All your dreams are over now
   And all your wings have fallen down
   
   Broke trust in two
   Now no one's looking out for you
   Why keep it cruel
   Why waste so much to play the fool
   
   And maybe I'm the fool but I think we'd find
   That we could all be so so kind
   If you'd just leave your tread mill powertrip behind
   Oh leave your treadmill powertrip behind
   And maybe it's best that you're so so blind
   It's best that your so so blind
   Because your heart can't grieve
   I know your heart can't grieve
  
   I know your heart can't grieve
   What your eyes won't see
   But you were my favorite moment
   Of our dead century
  
   I know your heart can't grieve
   What your eyes won't see
   But you were my favorite moment
   Of our dead century

   But all your dreams are over now
   And all your wings have fallen down
   Oh all your dreams are over now
   And all your wings have fallen down
 
   Oh warfarin' terrapin
   Unconfined undesigned
   Undersigned bantering
   Bartering bellowing
   Barracking blundering
   Pillaging plundering
   Living and lavishing
   Hammerings harrowing
   Flourishing flattening
   Levelling reveling
   Wrecking and ravaging
   Savoring savaging

   Oh warfarrin terrapin
   Unconfined undesigned
   You've got me worried and wondering

   All your dreams are over now 
   And all your wings have fallen down
   All your dreams are over now
