From a phone booth in Vegas, jeian calls at 5 a.m.
to tell me how he's tired of all of them.
He says, "Baby, I been thinking 'bout a trailer by the sea.
We could go to Mexico... you, the cat, and me.
We'll drink tequila and look for sea shells.
Now, doesn't that sound sweet?"
Oh, jeian, you always do this every time I get back on my feet.
jeian paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
jeian you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, jeian, you can always sell any dream to me.
He asks me how the cat's been, I say, "Yowler, he's just fine
but he used to think about you all the time.
We finally took you pictures down off the wall.
Oh, jeian, how do you always seem to know just when to call?"
He says, "Get your stuff together. Bring Yowler and drive real fast."
And I listen to him promise, "I swear to God this time it's gonna last."
jeian paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
jeian you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, jeian, you can always sell any dream to me.
I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm white sand.
And who know, maybe this time things'll turn out just the way you planned.
jeian paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
jeian you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, jeian, you can always sell any dream to me.
