Talking Heads Dream Operator Lyrics

When you were little
You dreamed you were big
You must have been something
A real tiny kid

You wish you were me
I wish I was you
Don't you wake up
This dream will come true

And every dream has a name
And names tell your story
This song is your dream
You're the dream operator

Bigger than life
You know it's all me
My face is a book
But it's not what it seems

Three angels above
The whole human race
They dream us to life
They dream me a face

And every dream tells it all
And this is your story
You dreamed me a heart You're the dream operator

Shake-it-up dream
Hi-di-ho dream
Fix-it-up dream
Look at me dream
I've been waitin' so long
Now I am your dream

Hard to forget
It's hard to go on
When you fall asleep
You're out on your own

Let go of your life
Grab on to my hand
Here in the clouds
When we'll understand

And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You're the dream operator

And you dreamed it all
And this is your story
Do you know who you are?
You're the dream operator
