I got Vendela Vida You got Boris in tow She only comes when I read her You only come when I go I got a past and a future You're working on your present tense And while I examined the sutures You were mending your fence And I have got the cross to bear for your confusion Dreamers always end up back in Chinatown And if you really, really, really are connected to the things that you believe Well, to finally write your story is to let a thousand other stories bleed And if you go, well you know, you got nothing to hold on to, but wait, it gets worse It's a gift, it's a curse And the life we envision That ain't life, so it seems And I could make a decision If I could just forget all my dreams You got Vendela Vida, baby I got Boris in tow And she only comes when I read her But at least she comes back when she goes And I have got the cross to bear for your confusion Dreamers always end up back in Chinatown And if you really, really, really are connected to the things that you believe Well, to finally write your story is to let a thousand other stories bleed And if you go, well you know, you got nothing to hold on to, but wait, it gets worse It's a gift, it's a curse We can't find any peace when we sleep We try, but as soon as we're down and we close our eyes, we cannot help itâ
