	Lyrics Sonny works the graveyard shift at the casket company Banging nails to the tune of 250 a week, he never gets a paid holiday He’s got a couple of hopes that he can’t afford Eating at the back of his soul When he climbs his way out of the ditches he digs He falls right into another hole… And the sun still rises And the city decays And if you listen real hard you can hear the sounds of your dreams when they’re runnin’ away… Eve looked like Elke Sommer did way back in ’63 She kicks the press all night in the old buckle factory The day her husband left He left her feeling like a fool Now she shakes the pickup lines and breaks the picket lines Just to put his damn kids through school And the sun still rises And it’s breaking her heart And if you look real hard you can see the cracks in your dreams when they’re falling apart… and everybody knows… that’s just how it goes… The first time Sonny saw her, tears were streaming down her face It was the most beautiful thing that he’s ever seen in the heart of this goddamned place With all her plans and his calloused hands You know they’ve made a happy home Now they’re trapped like rats in a sinking ship But at least they’re not alone And the sun still rises And the city decays And if you listen real hard you can hear the sounds of your dreams when they’re running away… And if you listen real hard you can hear the sounds of your dreams when they’re running away… And if you listen real hard you can hear the sounds of your dreams when they’re running away… And it’s okay
