The Jim Carroll Band
Hold Back the Dream
Messed and peculiar
Dancing with Julia
I see no spare sky
This is the last try
The static of dreaming
Is only now seeming
To bring on disaster
I told you, I asked her
All she said was, "No"
Refrain:
Sometimes you'll be the matador
Sometimes you'll be the charging bull
The dust will rise and shield the sky
No dreams to push, no dreams to pull
Down to the bone
I was dancing with Mona
New stars are born she says
At the break of morning
Just before morning
I must be up and dressed to survive
It's been a week now
I've had no sleep how
I've made it this far
Only God truly knows
Repeat Refrain 2 times
Hold back the dream
