The Zombies
Hung Up on a Dream
[Verse 1]
Well, I remember yesterday
Just drifting slowly through a crowded street
With neon darkness shimmering through the haze
A sea of faces rippling in the heat
And from that nameless changing crowd
A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air
I stood astounded, staring hard
At men with flowers resting in their hair
[Chorus]
A sweet confusion filled my mind
Until I woke up only finding
Everything was just a dream
A dream unusual of its kind
That gave me peace and blew my mind
And now I'm hung up on a dream
[Verse 2]
They spoke with soft, persuading words (Spoke with soft, persuading words)
About a living creed of gentle love (Gentle love)
And turned me on to sounds unheard (Turned me on to sounds unheard)
And showed me strangest clouded sights above (Gentle love)
Which gentle touched my aching mind (Gentle touched my aching mind)
And soothed the wanderings of my troubled brain (Gentle love)
Sometimes I think I'll never find (I think I'll never find)
Such purity and peace of mind again (Gentle love)
[Outro]
(Gentle love)
(Gentle love)
