Series of Dreams

I was thinking of a series of dreams

Where nothing comes up to the top.

Everything stays down where it`s wounded

And comes to a permanent stop.

Wasn`t thinking of anything specific,

Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams.

Nothing truly very scientific,

Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Thinking of a series of dreams

Where the time and the tempo drag,

And there`s no exit in any direction

`Cept the one that you can`t see with your eyes.

Wasn`t making any great connections,

Wasn`t falling for any intricate schemes.

Nothing that would pass inspection,

Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Dreams where the umbrella is folded,

And into the path you are hurled,

And the cards are no good that you`re holding

Unless they`re from another world.

In one, the surface was frozen.

In another, I witnessed a crime.

In one, I was running, and in another

All I seemed to be doing was climb

Wasn`t looking for any special assistance,

Not going to any great extremes.

I`d already gone the distance,

Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Dreams where the umbrella is folded,

And into the path you are hurled,

And the cards are no good that you`re holding

Unless they`re from another world.

I`d already gone the distance,

Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Just thinking of a series of dreams.

Just thinking of a series of dreams.
