Coincidental, sentimental lovers on the run
they thought they had a plan as they headed toward the sun
Keys and the wheels and a tank of gasoline
Gambled all they had on these fantasies and dreams
How many people said stay away from him
He's trouble in the making, full of piss and gin
She had a wild streak something no one ever saw
The quiet ones can fool you its an unwritten law
Fantasies and Dreams, never quite come true
The way we thought they would in our minds
Fantasies and Dreams, the devil passing through
Tempting all your senses, making you go blind
With hopeful eyes and loving hearts they set out 'cross the land
Taking risks and doing things no one could understand
Wind in their face on Springsteen's suicide machine
Giving all they got to reach their fantasies and dreams
A pocketful of twenties and a tankful of gas
You could see this train wreck coming you knew it wouldn't last
The twists and the turns almost brought them to their knees
Never saw this side play out in their fantasies and dreams
Fantasies and Dreams, never quite come true
The way we thought they would in our minds
Fantasies and Dreams, the devil passing through
Tempting all your senses, making you go blind
Intoxication, accusations, trouble with the law
Intimidation, instigation a man's fatal flaw
Twenty years from now will they still see through the trees
Or blame it on each other or their dreams and fantasies
Fantasies and Dreams, never quite come true
The way we thought they would in our minds
Fantasies and Dreams, the devil passing through
Tempting all your senses, making you go blind
