You turn back from the golden hours,
I lean back on the drizzling showers;
    And you know life ain't so!

You turn back from the freewheel-towers.
I lean back on my nice vau-vau'ers
    And you know life ain't so!

And it's my dream to be
Where life is really free!

You turn back from the days of seating,
I lean back on my manual heating;
    And you know life ain't so!

You turn back from the wrecks of bleeding,
I lean back on the body-sack meeting;
    And you know life ain't so!

You turn back on what could be real here,
I lean back on what it gave me there;
    And you know life ain't so!

You lean back from the next time coming,
I lean back on the hours running;
    And you know life ain't so!

And it's my dream to be
Where life is really free!
