Dream I Had Last Night
(d. mavis)

I dreamed I saw the king last night alive as you or me
but really when you think about it how alive are we
I've picked out my headstone and I know what it should say
but if I told you what it was you might want to set it up today
Dream I had last night
Dream I had last night

I dreamed I saw the virgin Jane alive as me or you
I tried to sneak away from her but then she saw me too
I left my meal half finished as she chased me through the street
I guess that only goes to show you never know who you'll meet
in the dream I had last night
Dream I had last night

I dreamed I saw a duck they taught to sing and not to waddle
First he married his manager and then he married a model
Now he lives in Malibu and summers in Chelsea Bluff
And if you've never heard of that it's because you're not rich enough
Dream I had last night
Dream I had last night

I dreamed I met a little boy I think his name was schools
Askin' everybody that he saw, "why should I make time for fools?"
Of course no one could answer him and he flew off in a rage
I intervened and killed his keeper then destroyed his cage
In the dream I had last night
Dream I had last night

I dreamed I met an evil man he said he was the king of thieves
I said, "how did you know that I wasn't home?" and he said, "we watched you leave" ah
So that's when they robbed me and took everything they stole
It might have helped me spiritually but financially now I'm in a hole
from the dream I had last night
Dream I had last night
yah

I dreamed I saw a shooting star like the night couldn't take anymore
And now the sun is breaking down because its light fell onto my floor
At times I have been tempted and at times I've given in
But in the end it's like a game and you know who's gonna win
Dream I had last night
Dream I had last night

I dreamed up all these people but they weren't alive or real
I lied to you but is the taste a lie if you like the meal
They needed me to stay with them so more of them I could make up
I said, "I can't think of any more" and they finally let me wake up
from the dream I had last night
Dream I had last night

So now I'm thinking back on them I wonder if they're alright
Have they got stuff to do today or do they only come at night
Either way I'll see them soon or something like them instead
'Cause no matter what happens here I've got to go back to bed
and the dream I had last night
Dream I had last night

I'd give you all more verses but they get to be like old jokes I fear
Everybody wants to tell them and nobody wants to hear
So at this point in the story it's time for me to close my eyes
It might go on all by itself but I admit I'd be surprised
by the dream I had last night
Dream I had last night
Whooohooo
Whooohooo
Whooohooo
Whooohooo, ooh ooh, ooh
