Hot plate kitchen

I don’t need much to be happy
Just you actin’ in my play
So’s to strengthen the walls
That i been buildin in the way

In the way of the widening roads
Leading off into the gray
Lord, it’s powerful hard
Just to make it through an ordinary day

But a little bit of dreamin, don’t hurt a body much
I ain’t got no money, honey, but, listen up …

I got a hot plate kitchen, and a candle chandelier
And a dormitory fridge, full of champagne beer
We’ll have a little space heater, and a radio tv
And a sleepin’ bag blanket over you and me

Everybody’s worried bout the same thing
But there’s very little difference how we fail
A poor man dies just a little bit
While a rich man does it on a much bigger scale

But a little bit of dreaming …

Lady Day, Annie Mae, get your gun, Annie run
Girl, you’re every woman in the world
Oh, Raggedy Ann, lend a hand, like Caledonia can
Girl, you’re every woman in the world, to me

I was born to a purpose
Higher than what I could do
See now, I was not just driftin’
I was waiting for you

But a little bit of dreaming ...
