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 night 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]

Saw you, saw me

Run quickly now

Run and hide away

Run and hide today, oh

[Outro]

Seems they come and go so quickly

Disappear like sunlight in the evening

And they may not ever be explained

Seems like they come and go so quickly

Disappearing in the air like a breath of wind

And they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinking I was dying

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, baby

No, they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinking 'bout you

If you find one, hang on

With everything you got deep down there in your soul

For they may not ever be explained

And I woke up crying like a baby

Seems like they come and go so quickly

But disappear like sunlight in the evening

And they may not ever be explained

And I woke up thinking I had the answer

If you find one, hang on

With everything you got deep down in your soul

For it may not ever be explained

And I woke up
