lyrics
99 c dream
I'm standing outside 99c dream
On a Tuesday in jersey city.
It's along way from here it's along way from there
Anywhere i ever thought i might be
If you step inside I've got a dollar to spare
This one's on me
I'll take my change to the penny arcade,
and a game that i know i can't win
My love may be lost but I'd do it just the same for one chance..
I picture just a few years from now,
in a bright house on top of that hill
children colouring outside the lines
doing puzzles beneath your feet,
It's a polaroid that i like to watch developing
between you and me
and against all odds..it's a house i'd like to live in
but my horse is lame,
the jockey's overweight
it's a race i should not be in
still i'd make the same mistakes again, for one chance
In a million,
in a million
Lover, oh friend, prince on bended knee
there's no mystery here
one part makes you rise
one part makes you kneel
one part makes you fear what you feel
so look me in the morning eye
and tell me what you need.
if you can't see all of these parts
i can't believe that it's real
right hook to the left jaw
the referee's starting to count
my fighter is back on his feet
"you'll not take me, before the last round"
I'm standing outside 99c dream
On a Tuesday in jersey city
it's along way from here it's along way from there
any where i ever wanted to be
if you step inside I've got a dollar to spare
this one's on me
I'll take my change to the penny arcade
and a game that I just might Win
