The World Beyond

Lyrics

[Chorus] I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond And I was born after they dropped the bomb I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's knee And he told me of the world that used to be [Verse 1] "Tell me again, how it used to be Did grass really grow? And what was a tree? Did rain really fall from the sky? What a shame that it all had to die" Tell me about the automobile How did it run? And what was a wheel? Did children stand up all alone? I think that you're putting me on" [Chorus] I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond And I was born after they dropped the bomb I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's knee And he told me of the world that used to be [Verse 2] "Tell me again, how it used to be Did birds really fly? What was TV? Did concrete cover the land? And what was a rock and roll band? Tell me again, what kids used to do? What was a dog? And what was a shoe? Did children look different from me? That must have been something to see" [Chorus] I dreamed that I was living in the world beyond And I was born after they dropped the bomb I dreamed that I was sitting on my father's knee And he told me of the world that used to be [Verse 3] "Tell me again, about sunshine and rain What was a boat? And what was a train? Were people as lonely as me? And did they live in chains such as we?"
