Dreams

[Verse 1:] I was lost and tossed on a misty morning By a drunken sailor and the genie in the bottle let me down I was raised on Cain, in the name of the Father And the Mother and the brother And the other who was never even round On a windswept coast with the Black Knight falling I was heard to be calling that my ship And all its crew were going down As the sun ran slowly by a childhood rivulet A jeweled King summoned me Commanding that I run and tell the town [Chorus:] Saw you, saw me, run quickly now Run and hide away Run and hide today [Verse 2:] In a room in a castle full of faceless lovers I was cut and bleeding and the image in the mirror struck me down I was chased and beaten by a well-drilled team Of little men breathing colors And abandoned in a coffin in the ground As a pale young virgin made a meal of a martyr She was hailed as Holy by the only ones who stood And held their ground When a bright Mona Lisa with the eyes of a tiger read A new proclamation I was stricken from her list and never found [Chorus] [Verse 3:] Seems they come and go so quickly Disappear like sunlight in the evening And they may not ever be explaine Seems like they come and go so quickly Disappearin' in the air like a breath of wind And they may not ever be explained And I woke up thinkin' I was dyin' If you find one hang on with all you got Way down deep, deep in your soul For it may not ever come again And I woke up crying like a baby Hey yay yay yay No they may not ever be explained
