[Verse 1] Won't you take my hand? Won't you be my friend? Take my advice, go away When the days get short And the chips are down Will you be there? Will you stick around? Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] And if thou shalt give Thou shalt be deceived This traveling band Was not well received No open arms, no reception lines Just handlebars Wearing five point stars [Chorus] Am I living in your dream? We got the guns (We got the guns) A thousand to one, a thousand to one He's the man, he's the man He's the man who loved life [Bridge 1] (Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la) Served from different shores (Ahh) Am I living in your dream? Yeah (Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la) Pretty metal green (Ahh) Can I ride upon your wings? So free [Verse 3] In the canyon walls, there's a trusty lot The stakes were high And the sun was hot You can rest assured as casinos rise Buzz around my ears Like the dragonflies [Chorus] Am I living in your dream? We got the guns, we got the guns A thousand to one, a thousand to one He's the man, he's the man He's the man who loved life [Bridge 2] (Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la) Heard a million stories (Ahh) Am I living in your dream? Yeah (Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la) Pretty metal green (Ahh) Can I ride upon your wings? So free [Guitar Solo] [Bridge 3] (Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la) Heard a million stories (Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la) Am I living in your dream? Yeah Pretty metal green Am I living in your dream? Yeah [Outro] Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la Ahh Ooh, la, la, la, ooh, la, la, la Ahh
