Lyrics

Maze of dreams by Bill Paynter

Are you tough enough?
Are you weak enough?
are you rich enough?
are you poor enough?

drifting through a maze of dreams
discarded hopes and losers schemes
In a place so far beyond
where the broken hearted souls have gone
there you?ll find rough girls - cheap pearls
looking for a good time in skanky bars or fast cars
all sense dulled by some toxic weed
and cheap whiskey a friend in need

drifting through a maize of dreams they
have no thought of what it means
to feel secure in their grasp of life
only pain in their heart that cuts like a knife

are you fast enough?
are you slow enough?
are you smart enough?
are you dumb enough?

drifting through a maze of dreams
discarded hopes and losers schemes
in a place so far beyond
where the broken hearted souls have gone
there you find boys with a past they can?t forget
looking for someone else to pay their debt
spining their wheels with scams and deals
hanging loose

drifting through a maze of dreams
they have no thought of what it means
to feel secure in their grasp of life
only pain in their heart that cuts like a knife

while high up on government hill
The people with all the powers
party in their ivory towers
Control freaks who prey on the meek
and lust to be father and mother not sister or brother
of those they call oppressed
there?s plenty of cash ? wrung from the mass
to dispense grace and favour
with power to savour
while down below and behind their masks
their private servants complete their tasks
no debate just shut it

drifting through a maze of dreams
they have no thought of what it means
to feel secure in their grasp of life
only pain in their heart that cuts like a knife
