Scattered Dreams

Last night in a dream
The sun dropped so fast
I was blinded by the light
And the shadows it cast
Lost in the shade of mediocrity
Stuck in a crowd of idiocy
Traveling on a train trying to get off
And the engineer laughed
And began to cough
I about broke his arm
Reaching for my mask
Then I turned to him
To take him to task

What the hell did all this mean?
Was I trying to make sense out of something I'd seen?
Was my mind playing tricks on me
If I open my eyes
Will I be lost at sea?

Because before I knew it
I was on a boat
So full of holes
I knew it wouldn't float
Swimming in the ocean of absurdity
Drowning in total obscurity
Doing the backstroke with a pod of whales
And the orca laughed
As I reached for his tail
I could feel myself
Sinking under fast
I tried to hold on
But I knew I couldn't last

What the hell did all this mean?
Was I trying to make sense out of something I'd seen?
Was my mind playing tricks on me?
If I open my eyes
Will it be you I see?

You see, you're every woman
In my dreams
You're always on my mind
Or so it seems
Leading me astray in promiscuity
Helping me survive in this society
We're floating above
The ballroom floor
Holding you close
Wanting more
I can feel myself
Falling in love
Cause it's always you
I'm thinking of

What the hell does all this mean?
Was I trying to make sense out of something I'd seen?
Was my mind playing tricks on me?
When I open my eyes
Will you be with me?
