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

And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all

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

And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And 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 and love-sick songs, in moments
Without pause as Johnny Cougar amplified our cause

And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all

We were the great believers, dreams came with stars
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

And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
And it was nothing at all

And it was all
And it was nothing at all
And it was all
It was nothing at all

Beneath the snow
Lies a dream that I once had
