Send Me Somebody

Pourin' rain like a subway train
Waitin' for a taxi that never came
Tonight
Killin' time, high in sixty-nine
Waitin' on a heaven to send a sign
Tonight

You used to think your life
Would be some picture-perfect story
That you could tell when you got old
Everybody had their price for hope and glory
When those dreams got bought and sold
She said

Send me somebody I can dream about
I want somebody that won't shut me out
Send me somebody I can dream about
'Cause I wanna get lost in a dream
If I can dream about you

Shaded eyes make a fair disguise
Waitin' for the city boys to arrive
Mondays
Down inside where a dream survives
It's tough enough, baby, just stayin' alive
One more day

Now she was a queen
In a court full of phony kings
When I fell from her grace
And I know that I would do most anything
There's a dream I can't replace
She said

Send me somebody I can dream about
I want somebody that won't shut me out
Send me somebody I can dream about
'Cause I wanna get lost in a dream
If I can dream about you

Send me somebody I can dream about
I want somebody that won't shut me out
Send me somebody I can dream about
'Cause I wanna get lost in a dream
If I can dream about you tonight

Well, I'm flyin' in behind the cage
Like a bird with a broken wing
Tryin' to keep from tumblin' down
She said

(Send me somebody) I can dream about
I want somebody
If I can dream about you
Oh, oh

(I want somebody)
Yeah
If I can dream about you, you
(Send me somebody)
Hey, hey
