What Do Boys Dream

Living in a constant ecstasy
Do boys dream about
The same kind of things that young girls dream?
What do the boys dream?
What do the boys all dream of?
Do boys dream about
Life in space and hallucination
Do boys dream about
The killing of a friend, the investigation?
What do the boys dream?
What do the boys all dream of?
Do boys dream about
The great escape of the mythical monsters
Do boys dream about
The big romance with the girl of their dreams?
What do the boys dream?
What do the boys all dream of?
Do the boys dream about
The wonders of the world and all in color
Do boys dream about
The big romance with the girl of their dreams?
What do the boys dream?
What do the boys all dream of?
