And a cool, cool rain comes down
On a world burned by the sun
And the moon arises like a child
And the moment is undone
And the stars never say what they see
As the moon flirts with shadows it makes through the fallen trees
Some would wait for the morning light
But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe in the arms of night
Yeah
I really want to know
What you had in store
I couldn't really tell
Maybe it's just as well
I came here with a dream
And I just had to see
If my dream would soar
I knocked on every door
His whole life was written
Written there inside
The new weekly bible
His modern T.V. Guide
Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah
A man only sees want he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is that he wants to be
Living in a world where he's safe from reality
Won't you take a chance on this night
And follow me
Won't you follow me (repeat)
Don't need no super heroes
Don't need no movie stars
Don't need no politicians
In big black shiny cars
Don't need no preacher
Whose church is my T.V.
On a world burned by the sun
And the moon arises like a child
And the moment is undone
And the stars never say what they see
As the moon flirts with shadows it makes through the fallen trees
Some would wait for the morning light
But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe in the arms of night
Yeah
I really want to know
What you had in store
I couldn't really tell
Maybe it's just as well
I came here with a dream
And I just had to see
If my dream would soar
I knocked on every door
His whole life was written
Written there inside
The new weekly bible
His modern T.V. Guide
Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah
A man only sees want he wants to see
When he's in his mind
Where he is that he wants to be

Won't you follow me (repeat)
Don't need no super heroes
Don't need no movie stars
Don't need no politicians
