Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy) Lyrics By Roger Hodgson

    audio of baby crying
    no no no no no just do as you’re told
    used to be such a nice boy
    sirens news report

    yeah

    had a dream i was born
    to be naked in the eye of the storm
    and now it’s standing right in front of me
    what’s it going to do to me who knows
    had a dream it was time
    to be taken to the front of the line
    well that is not a place you wanna be
    sleeping with the enemy you know

    i don’t care what the future brings
    give a damn about anything
    i’d be fine if they’d only leave me alone
    but it’s time gotta take a stance
    ’cause i won’t get a second chance
    and i know now i have to make it alone

    yeah

    had a dream it was war
    and they couldn’t tell me what it was for
    but it was something they could lie about
    something we could die about you know
    anytime anyplace
    when you look that man in the face
    well it is not a face you wanna see
    sleeping with the enemy you know

    mary can you hear me can you tell me what it’s all supposed to mean
    holding out a photograph of all that i have seen
    i wish i could hold you i wish i could hold you

    hey

    had a dream it was time
    to be a witness at the scene of the crime
    well that is something you can analyze
    something you can criticize who knows
    so we wait hesitate
    and we’re making such a mistake
    oh whatever can the matter be
    sleeping with the enemy you know

    i don’t care what the future brings
    give a damn about anything
    i’d be fine if they’d only leave me alone
    but it’s time gotta take a stance
    ’cause i won’t get a second chance
    and i know now i have to make it alone

    yeah
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    but you wanna know
    whoo
