I had a dream
|
I had a dream
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
You were standing in the middle of an open road
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
Your hands were raised up to the sky
|
And your mouth was covered in foam
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
A shadowy Jesus flitted from tree to tree
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves
|
And in that dream, Joe
|
A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick
|
And pointed his finger at me
|
|
I had a dream,
|
I had a dream,
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
|
I opened my eyes, Joe
|
The night had been a giant, dribbling and pacing the boards
|
I opened my eyes, Joe
|
All your letters and cards stacked up against the door
|
I opened my eyes, Joe
|
The morning light came slowly tumbling through the crack
|
In the window, Joe
|
And I thought of you and I felt like I was lugging
|
A body on my back
|
|
I had a dream,
|
I had a dream,
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
|
Where did you go, Joe?
|
On that endless, senseless, demented drift
|
Where did you go, Joe?
|
Into the woods, into the trees, where you move and shift
|
Where did you go, Joe?
|
All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit
|
Where did you go, Joe?
|
With that strew of wreckage
|
Forever at the heel of your boot
|
|
I had a dream
|
I had a dream
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
I had a dream
|
I had a dream
|
I had a dream, Joe
|
