Silhouette of a woman in the pale moonlight

Who still thinks mom and dad are in love

Finally took the blow that shook her hard

Broken bottles and black out nights

Of the American Dream

Chorus:

Pixie dust and happy endings

Happy endings

Chorus:

Dreams of heros

Dreams of fairytales

Dreams of miracles

Dreams down the wishing well

Dream of the young man

Dream of a second chance

And even though they aint never what they seem

We believe in dreams
