Thompson Twins - Don't Mess With Doctor Dream (Here's To Future Days)
I feel rain slither down
In a hot desert sky
And when I, when I touch you
I'm left wondering why, why, why
I dream
(chorus)
THERE'S NO HEAVEN ABOVE
(THERE'S NO HEAVEN)
THERE'S NO HELL DOWN BELOW
(THERE'S NO HELL DOWN BELOW)
JUST INVISIBLE MEN
IN THE EMPEROR'S CLOTHES
I see my dear clown
And she's draped in silk gowns
And we both, we both laugh
As we tumble down, down, down
You dream
(REPEAT CHORUS)
There is no time for crying
'Cos the time waltzes by
And we twirl and we touch
And we both know why, why, why
We dream
(CHORUS X 2)

TT's anti-drug message, video directed by Godley & Creme. A good song but the video has a major
cheese factor going on. (Which is usual for them anyway.) Enjoy it!
@RoMeOHoMeO Good point about how albums used to be crafted. Today albums are like tuna salad. A few bits of good tuna and the rest is mayo and relish...just filler. TTwins Future Days album is one of my favorites! All Tuna! lol

This song is such a stand out on the "Here's To Future Days" album! I miss how bands made actual albums, with themes, cohesion, contrast...Song placement was also important: it was sheer brilliance to have this song, ending with "Don't take that, take this:" lead directly into the very different sounding & topic of "Lay Your Hands On Me", implying (for me, at least) that the "this:" is love!
