When I live my dream, I'll take you with meRiding on a golden horseWe'll live within my castle, with people there to serve youHappy at the sound of your voiceBaby, I'll slay a dragon for youOr banish wicked giants from the landBut you will find, that nothing in my dream can hurt youWe will only love each other as foreverWhen I live my dreamWhen I live my dream, I'll forgive the things you've told meAnd the empty man you left behindIt's a broken heart that dreams, it's a broken heart you left meOnly love can live in my dreamI'll wish, and the thunder clouds will vanishWish, and the storm will fade awayWish again, and you will stand before me while the sky will paint an overtureAnd trees will play the rhythm of my dreamWhen I live my dream, please be there to meet meLet me be the one to understandWhen I live my dream, I'll forget the hurt you gave meThen we can live in our new landTill the day my dream cascades around meI'm content to let you pass me byTill that day, you'll run to many other menBut let them know it's just for nowTell them that I've got a dreamAnd tell them you're the starring roleTell them I'm a dreaming kind of guyaVoice: Here is the newsAccording to the latest world population surveyThe figures have reached danger point, my godLondon 15 million 75 thousandNew York 80 millionParis 15 million and 30China 1000 millionBraidlington-Spa lotsMy studies included suffragyI formed my own societyto crush the bear of fecundityThe world will overpopulateUnless you claim infertilitySo who will buy a drink for me, your messiahWe are not your friendsWe don't give a damn for what you're sayingWe're here to live our livesI propose to give the pillFree of charge to those that feelThat they are not infertibleThe kroks of you, the cattle gunThere's only one way to linger onSo who will buy a drink for me, your messiahWe are not your friendsWe don't give a damn for what you're sayingWe're here to live our livesVoice:Achtung, achtung, these are your ordersAnyone found guilty of consuming more than their allotted amount of airWill be slaughtered and crematedOnly one cubic foot of air is allowed ...I have prepared a document, legalising mass abortionWe will turn a blind eye to infanticideWe are not your friendsWe don't give a damn for what you're sayingWe're here to live our livesYou don't seem to hear me clearDo I talk above your sphere?Let me explain my project , dearShow you how I'll save the worldOr let it die within the yearWhy do you look that way at me, your messiahWe are not your friendsWe don't give a damn for what you're sayingWe're here to live our livesWe are hungry menWe don't give a damn for what you're sayingWe're here to eat youAnd I'm going to make my dreamTell them I will live my dreamTell them they can laugh at meBut don't forget your date with me
