Garland Jeffreys Bad Dream Lyrics

Everybody keeps puttin' him down
Sayin' this and a sayin' that
Spreadin' little rumors
Like the talk of the town
Talkin' in shadows
Behind his back

But soon some day
They will say
I knew him well and I knew him when
Just like a bad dream
As if it never happened
Just like a bad dream
As if it never happened

One by one they stand in line Open up their eyes to see
Two by two they find the time
Shake your hands
“Say hey can you use me?”

Soon some day
They will say
I knew him well and I knew him when
Just like a bad dream
As if it never happened
Just like a bad dream
As if it never happened
Soon come some day
