lyrics

Randy Used to Dream About Mickey Mouse
© & (p) 1994 Bunj Jam Music-BMI

There should be something left to tell
There should be another way
But all my friends went straight to hell
While searching for that heavenly day

And we marched through that parade
Passing avenues along main
And the sun beamed through our eyes
Along with dreams of every new Friday

We fought them all
We fought them all
We didn't mean to kill
We just needed to instill a little hope
And a little will…
We fought them all

And then Randy skipped out of town
Took a truck and rode down south
He had connections he had the right kind of mouth
He had the will and the mental clout

Fore finger poked to the sky
The number one held way up high
He thought of winning
He thought of pride
And when he lost he knew he tried

He said one day I'll buy Orlando
Universal and Mickey Mouse
And the dough would grow and grow
Beyond the wife and kid and a dog and the house

(Chorus)

When you got ears as big as Mickey
You can hear way too much
Sometimes it can get a little too risky
To always stay that much in touch

You see two ears can take the number one
And make a stub
Ten years can kill the strongest light
Stuff it like a big old plug

And it plugged up all the reasons
Plugged up that moving to the sky
It plugged up that mouth and stopped the answers
Plugged up the ears now they can’t remember how or why

(Chorus)

I went downtown and everyone was gone
No hardware store
No beauty salon
No butcherman
No pharmacy
No hometown did I see

So I guessed downtown moved to the mall
So I drove way up there
To speak with the mayor
But that position had been replaced last Fall
But an incorporated market share

What have you lost
What have you lost
What has been stripped from your hands
Like when the grass goes with the frost
