Joni Mitchell The Reoccurring Dream Lyrics

This is the reoccurring dream
Born in the dreary gap between
What we have now
And what we wish we could have
  More fulfilling--and less frustrating!
Out of the envy in our eyes
  Look!
Glamorous picture people rise
  Radiant!
Gleaming down from screens and pages
  Ooh--glamour--before your very eyes!
Isn't it true--isn't it true?
  Good question--I know--who cares
Look here they tell you
If you had this
If you had that
  Latest styles and colors
If we had that for us mmmmm
Wouldn't it be fabulous
If you had that house, car, bottle, jar
Your lovers would look like movie stars
Movie stars, movie stars, movie stars
  Order your youth secrets of the stars
  Call now--just $9.99
Our discontent is their delight
They offer relief for the purchase price
Love in a bottle
Love on four wheels
  Is that our new car Charles?
Isn't it true--isn't it true?
  We guarantee it--pick up your phone and dial
See here they sell you
If you had this
If you had that
  I want a new truck!--More power!
If you use this shampoo
True love will come to you
If you had that house, car, bottle, jar
Your lovers would look like movie stars

Movie stars, movie stars, movie stars

  Soft sexy hair

He's going to love me in this ruby, ruby lipstick
  Others will notice!--Sexy!--Who cares!
  Recognize this?
Dreamer
  Latest styles and colors
Oh, dream on, dream on, dream on
  The fashion looks you've been hoping for
Sexy--sexy
  Recognize this?
Dreamer
  So special
Dream on
We will have happiness in heaven
  The place you dreamed of retiring to--
Who cares
  Recognize this?
Dreamer
  I know that glamour is--sexy
Oh dream on dreamer
  What could go wrong?
Dream on
  Who cares!
  Recognize this?
Dreamer
  I'm afraid I can't go below two million
Dream on
Life would be easy if I had that new appliance
  Food processors for all of us
  Who cares!
  Recognize this?
Dreamer
  There are lots of strings
Dream on
We can solve everything in science
  Naturally
Science
  It's a picture of how to get what you want out of life
Recognize this?
  I love it
Dreamer
  Isn't there some other way?
  Who cares!
