You Dream Flat Tires Songtext
von Joni Mitchell

It came to pass like lightning
Striking from above
Electric flash just like lightning
Striking from above

Struck by precious love (love)
Precious, precious love
So hopeless and so inspired

Why do you dream flat tires
When you dream flat tires?
You dream flat tires

With a jack and a spare, you′re there
Trying to get to where love is
Coming in on a wing and a prayer
Trying to get to where love is

'Cause love is precious love (love)
You said it was precious
When first you felt my fire


Before you dreamed flat tires
You dreamed flat tires
You dream flat tires

Woman, she bounce back easy
But a man could break both his legs
Are you telling me that to tease me
Or just to hear me beg? (Please don′t go)

'Cause I know that you love me
But, are you going to let love be
Just a vague flirtation
Or extra special company?

'Cause love is precious love (love)
Everybody knows it′s precious
When first they feel that fire

Before they dream flat tires
They dream flat tires
They dream flat tires


Woman, she bounce back easy
But a man could break both his legs
Do you tell me that to tease me
Or just to hear me beg) (Please don′t be cold)
I know that you love me
But, what are you going to let love do?

Flat tires, love, love is precious, flat tires
Love, love is precious, flat tires, love
Love is precious, flat tires, love, love is precious
