I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
|
And he could see just fine
|
|
Dreamed about Ray Charles last night
|
And he could see just fine, you know
|
I asked him for a lullaby
|
He said, "Honey, I don't sing no more"
|
No more, no more, no more
|
Ray don't sing no more
|
|
He said, "Since I got my eyesight back,
|
my voice has just deserted me.
|
No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more...
|
I stay in bed with MTV."
|
|
Then Ray took his glasses off
|
And I could look inside his head
|
Flashing like a thunderstorm
|
I saw a shining spider web
|
|
Spider web (repeat 3x)
|
In Ray Charles' head
|
|
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
|
He took me flying in the air
|
Showed my own spider webs
|
Said, "Honey, you had best take care.
|
The world is made of spider webs
|
The threads are stuck to me and you
|
Be careful what you're wishing for
|
'Cause when you gain you just might lose"
|
You just might lose your...
|
|
Spider web (repeat 3x)
|
What Ray Charles said
|
|
When you're feelin' lonely
|
When you're hidin' in your bed
|
Don't forget your string of pearls
|
Don't forget your spider web
|
|
When I go to sleep tonight
|
Don't let me dream of brother Ray
|
No, no, no, don't...
|
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees
|
Just like him best the other way
|
|
Spider web (repeat 3x)
|
What Ray Charles said...
|
In Ray Charles head
|
|
All I got's my spider web
|
Keepin' me alive
|
C'mon Ray
