A              G             D          A
I feel like I want to break out of the house
    A          G                   D          A
My heart is a-pumping, I've got sand in my mouth
   A             G               D         A
I feel like I'm heading up to a cardiac arrest
             A           G               D        A
I want to scream in the night, I want a night at best

               E    F#m             G              Bm
I've got that wide awake, give-and-take, five o'clock-in-the-
 A
morning feeling
I've got the hots for the sluts in the well thumbed pages of a
magazine
I want to drive, want to fly like I do in the dreams I've
never really been in
I want to hump, want to jump, want to heat up, cool down in a
dream machine

Chorus
      E
I'm dreaming from the waist on down
      D Dm
I'm dreaming but I feel tired and bound
      D
I'm dreaming of a day when a cold shower helps my health
Fmaj7   Dm     E                              A
I'm dreaming dreaming - of the day I can control myself
Day I can control myself

Sound like a priest and then I'm shooting dice
I'm burning tires with some guy whose hair is turning white
I know the girls that I pass, they just ain't impressed
I'm too old to give up, but too young to rest

I've got that numb-to-a-thumb over-dubbed, feeling social when
the world is sleeping
The plot starts to thicken then I sicken and I feel I'm
cemented down
I'm so juiced that the whorey lady's sad sad story has me
quietly weeping
But here comes the morning, here comes the yawning demented
clown

Chorus:
I'm dreaming but I know it's all hot air
I'm dreaming I'll get back to that rocking chair
I'm dreaming of a day when I can share the wealth
I'm dreaming, dreaming - of the day I can control myself
Day I can control myself
Hey, hey!
The day I can control myself
