Dutch Wonderland

Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had
And I know that I'll never go back
To the Christmas colored neighborhood as thoughtful as a card
With a plastic baby Jesus in the yard

It was all, and it was nothing at all
It was all, and it was nothing at all

What we didn't know we didn't think to ask
The world was just a globe they used in class
Where the gym teacher was always mad, and as far as we could tell
He only exercised his right to yell

It was all, and it was nothing at all
It was all, and it was nothing at all

As the kings of boredom we ruled as we knew how
Or at least as long as our curfews would allow
Couple skates, love-sick songs, in moments without pause
As Johnny Cougar amplified our cause

It was all, and it was nothing at all
It was all, and it was nothing at all

We were the great believers that dreams came with stars
And freedom just depended on the car
Until one day the sky fell in and freedom lost control
And ran off the road and hit a pole

It was all, and it was nothing at all
It was all, and it was nothing at all

Beneath the snow lies a dream that I once had
