Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect

And here I dreamt I was a soldier
 And I marched the streets of Birkenau
 And I recall in spring, the perfume that the air would bring to the indolent town
 ♪
 Where the barkers called the moon down
 The carnival was ringing loudly now
 And just to lay with you, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
 Save lay my rifle down
 And try one, and try two
 Guess it always comes down to
 Alright, it's okay
 Guess it's better to turn this way
 ♪
 And I am nothing of a builder
 But here I dreamt I was an architect
 And I built this balustrade to keep you home
 To keep you safe from the outside world
 But the angles and the corners
 Even though my work is unparalleled
 They never seemed to meet
 The structure fell about our feet, and we were free to go
 And try one, and try two
 Guess it always comes down to
 Alright, it's okay
 Guess it's better to turn this way

 And here in Spain, I am a Spaniard
 I will be buried with my marionettes
 Countess and courtesan have fallen 'neath my tender hand
 When their husbands were not around
 But, you're my soiled teenage girlfriend
 While you furrow like a lioness
 And we are vagabonds
 We travel without seat belts on and live this close to death
 And try one, and try two
 I guess it always comes down to
 Alright, it's okay
 Guess it's better to turn this
 But I won, so you lose
 Guess it always comes down to
 Alright, it's okay
