[Verse 1]

I found myself in silver dreams

I'm talking in my sleep to pawns and queens

Outspoken words, you know

They just don't mean the same thing

[Refrain]

Somebody must be kidding me

Somebody must be lying to me

[Verse 2]

And please don't ask me

Which is red and which is black

When are you coming back to me, babe?

Oh, when are you coming back to me, babe?

[Verse 3]

I saw myself in checkered lands

I even dreamt I was the knight in command

The bishop screamed, "Don't horse around, boy!"

[Refrain]

Somebody must be kidding me

Somebody must be lying to me

[Chorus]

And please don't tell me

I'm losing my way

You promised me everything, now didn't you, babe?

You promised me everything, now didn't you, babe?
