Last  night i had this dream
I  was a king and you was a queen
I  (???)
He  came by in stolen (???)
 He said I'll meet  you where the golden  bridge
 paints the frisco  skyline ridge
 And when my eyes adjusted to
 the neon flashing headlights
 I was shot down like a rebel soul
 in revolution country
 My dreams and foughts are broken
 by the lighting striking down
 Are you shot along the freeway
 playing jazz and singing big band
 like a ghetto system diamonds
 on the feed and on the wedding band
 no man (??) could touch you
 You were about thousand miles gone
 And the big ships' sound that wantings
 of your majesty are coming
 to (??) of the rich girl land
 shameless in the gutter
 When the clown waits an IT girl
 in high society ball
 By the subway station hall
 in hands and playing blackjack
 he was stealing cigarettes
 and singing songs about propaganda
 three millions miles above
 everybody down below
 And a cops were chasing robbers
 to ligimite clubs and sad streets
 see the darks of surrender
 and (??) museum
 well come and got busted
 as who all as I shot down
 And still I see this lady
 Changing guys with (??)
 with a sound of (??)
 John Coltrane and Woody Guthrie
 Tell it like it is
 to all the sailors on the bridge
 What a licence in the truism
 beck to lies before you know it
 and the guy with the shutter time
 he sais boss hope she dont blow it
 and children of democracy
 they all hit a bar and chain
 Some standing on the corner
 drinking gum and chewing coffee
 chanting things like (??) peace now
 with a queen before they shoot me
 And Im rolling on the waves
 doing that five cat race
 And then I'd waken up
 and I see how visions help me
 by the color of my eyes
 and the shirt upon my bag
 and I'm crossed out drinking frisco rum
 in the land of a free men

[F]I (???)
[F]He came by in stolen (???)
He said I'll [F]meet you where the [C]golden bridge

And when my eyes adjusted to

I was shot down like a rebel soul

My dreams and foughts are broken
