Capo 1
Intro:
Verse 1
There is an essence in the water
There is a spirit in the sky
There is a spider drawing webs
To crucify a fly
Verse 2
The fly is drawing nearer
Just as if he knew
How we all must fit the pattern
How the pattern must fit you
Chorus:
Everybody say amen
These are the dreams of ordinary men
This is the world that we’ll be living in
Out of the dreams of ordinary men
Verse 3:
I mistook all your intentions
But you never did deceive
I have a helpless fascination
For the web you wove for me
Verse 4:
We had nightly public beatings
But we slept in private hells
And I feel no guilt or vengeance
We just couldn’t help ourselves
Chorus:
Everybody say amen
These are the dreams of ordinary men
This is the world that we’ll be living in
Out of the dreams of ordinary men
Bridge:
So what’s the answer I have to find
To change my world like I change my mind
And change my life
If I could only change my dreams
Interlude:
Chorus:
Everybody say amen
These are the dreams of ordinary men
This is the world that we’ll be living in
Out of the dreams of ordinary men
Say amen!
These are the dreams of ordinary men
This is the world that we’ll be living in
Out of the dreams of ordinary men
